This poem is basically a tribute to all the soldiers who die in dangerous wars and they leave home to save their country and never come back.

I found this on the net and it touched my heart and made me cry for hours though it seemed like weeks!

---------------------------------------

Remember the day I borrowed your brand

new car and dented it?

I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't

 

 

And remember the time I dragged you to the beach,

and you said it would rain, and it did?

I thought you'd say, "I told you so". But you didn't.

 

 

Do you remember the time I flirted with all

the guys to make you feel jealous, and you were?

I thought you'd leave, but you didn't.

 

 

Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie

all over your car rug?

I thought you'd hit me, but you didn't.

 

 

And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance

was formal and you showed up in jeans?

I thought you'd drop me but you didn't.

 

 

Yes, there were lots of things you didn't do,

but you put up with me,

and loved me,

and protected me.

 

 

There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you

when you returned from Iraq.

 

 

 

But You Didn't.
