THE LETTER
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
IF YOU ARE READING THIS LETTER
I GUESS IT GOT OVER THERE
I WAS SURE HOPING YOUD GETTER
ITS SENT WITH LOTS OF LOVE AND CARE.
NOW I PRAY FOR YOU GODS SPEED
THAT HE WILL KEEP YOU SAFE
AND FULFILL YOUR EVERY NEED
WITH THE DAWNING OF EACH NEW DAY.
IM JUST AN ORDINARY MAN YOU SEE
A HUSBAND AND A FATHER
AND YOUR OVER THERE FIGHTING I BELIEVE
FOR MY WIFE, MY SON, AND MY DAUGHTER.
THEY DONT EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME
AND YOU WOULDNT KNOW EM IF YOU SEEN EM
BUT STILL JUST THE SAME
YOUR WILLING TO DIE TO PROTECT THERE FREEDOM.
YES SIR HONOR,GLORY,AND PRIDE
ARE JUST A FEW QUALITIES YOU DISPLAY
IM GREATFUL FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED
FOR ALL OF US HERE IN THE U.S.A
YOUVE PROBABLY LOST FRIENDS OVER THERE
WHO HAVE GIVEN THIER LIVES FOR THE U.S.A
AND BACK HOME WE ARE WELL AWARE
WE THINK GOD FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES EVERY DAY.
ITS BECAUSE OF MEN AND WOMEN LIKE YOU
I CAN BE PROUD OF WHERE IM FROM
I CAN FLY THAT RED,WHITE,AND BLUE
I CAN OWN A BIBLE AND A GUN.
NOW THE TITLE AMERICAN SOLDIER YOU HAVE EARNED
AND YOUR FRIENDS DID NOT DIE IN VEIN
I STARTED THIS LETTER TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
BUT REALIZE NOW THAT HERO IS YOUR NAME.
