Oh sweet brother of mine, <br />How I am going to miss thee. <br />You are about to make a choice, <br />That will change everything forever. <br /> <br />I understand that there are things you have to do, <br />That you want to do. <br />I understand that you want to sacrifice yourself, <br />Just so we all can live in freedom. <br /> <br />I know you want to see the faces of the demons, <br />To fight off the enemies. <br />I know you want to grip the gun, <br />And not be afraid of death. <br /> <br />I wish I could tell you that you're crazy, <br />But this is the path you have chosen. <br />I wish I could tell you that I'll miss you, <br />But obviously..You already know that. <br /> <br />Oh sweet brother of mine, <br />You're going to be missed. <br />If you do go into active combat, <br />I promise that I will begin praying every night, <br />Just for you. <br /> <br />Oh sweet brother of mine, <br />Please be safe. <br />Please don't show them your back. <br />Please keep yourself on guard. <br /> <br />Oh sweet brother of mine, <br />I hope I see you when you come back. <br />I hope you're not broken into millions. <br />I hope you don't have to replay through those demons. <br /> <br />Oh sweet brother of mine, <br />I will miss you.<br /><br />Shannon Nicole<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-sweet-brother-of-mine/
