Left my mama on that day. Tears in her eyes, no words to say. Signed my name on the dotted line. Sorry mama this life is mine. Mama, mama it’s okay. I’m gonna be home on Christmas Day. Saddest day of my life. I kissed my son, I kissed my wife. Put that rifle in my hand. Matching double time to defend this land. Tell me why, tell me why. Do my soldiers have to die. Tell me why, tell me why. Do our families have to cry. Soldiers, soldiers let me hear your battle cry. Hear the sirens sound and the eagles cry.

I don’t want it to be sad. I just want the lives of soldiers to be recognized

Why always sad ones? Its heart touching. But are you really upset with your life? Write something which makes us smile.

Such a sad piece of writing. Very affective. Really gets to the heart. Maybe someone will even connect to the content.
