All I have around me is soldiers who are just like me <br />I had to leave my sons and daughters. <br />Leave my mother and father. <br />Just to serve this country and protect these citizens. <br />Is there some other way to pay this price that I have chosen? <br />I don’t know if I can fight anymore. <br />I don’t know if I can bear not to see my family. <br />I don’t know if I can miss my sons and daughter’s birthdays. <br />Oh god, please just come and help me. <br />Just let me know I will be okay. <br />Here I am, just a soldier who longs to be back home. <br />Like all the other soldiers here. <br />We just want to serve our country at the same time. <br />All I have is the pride inside of me knowing I am helping and saving the world…<br /><br />Casey Lyon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/soldier-dedicated-to-soldiers-all-around-the-world/
