The Face of a Child

The face of a child, the courage of a man,

When others asked "WHY?", he said "I'm a MARINE and I can."

Off to defend our country in war,

Not knowing that God had other plans in store.

Taken from his family, and bringing them tears,

Such a young man, so mature for his years.

He now joins his brothers, forgotten never,

God's newest angel...A MARINE forever!
