Volume 8 | Spring 2018
by Tammy Watson
War is never easy
But defending this country makes us proud
We are soldiers that love this land
Our hearts beat strong and loud
They are all very proud of their fighting soldiers
And the bravery that we show
They try to be strong as we say our goodbyes
But the hardest thing is letting us go
Our families try not to worry
And we are not afraid to die
But if we should give all and don’t come home
Please hold them when they cry
Protesters gather and waive their signs
Because of the sacrifices of those gone before
Standing in freedoms streets, they burn our flag
As we go off to war
Battle is not easy and it breaks our heart
The loss of the innocent, our only regret
No one sees what we do, when we close our eyes
Because we can never forget
Next time you see those Colors pass
Remember this, our plea
Spend a moment of silence to remember the soldier
As because of the Brave you are Free
