My Poems

Solders

Solders

Starting off friends in high school,

Thinking they were all cool,

Each waiting for the call,

Hoping it comes before fall.

Happy but not ready to leave,

Wiping their mom's tears off with their sleeve,

Hearing dad say "I'm proud of you son,"

Getting on the bus knowing they both love you a ton.

Never thinking they would be together,

The boys were put with one another,

Thinking it would be a breeze,

But learned they hate to freeze.

Waking up early,

Going into battle,

Not knowing what's going to happen,

So they silently lurk.

Infiltrating the enemies grounds,

Then they let loose the rounds,

Two panic and run screaming,

So the others decided to retreat.

Back at camp,

Waiting on the other two to come up the ramp,

But they never returned,

Leaving friends and family behind.
