katie - fallen soldier
the soldier runs to his next position <br />dodging bullets <br />with expert precision <br />he reaches cover and carries on firing <br />untill the gunshots and bombs go quiet <br />his head start spiriling <br />with a single glance at his camo shirt <br />blood soaked he hits the dirt <br />a fellow soldier comes to his aid <br />he cant go now and leave his brigade <br />he pulls out a picture of life back at home <br />he knows he'll never be alone <br />he holds it to his chest and looks to the sky <br />he cannot lay here while others die <br />but there is nothing he can do <br />just watch his friends fight on through <br />as he drifts to the holy land <br />and hears the music of the angles band <br />the gunfire just a rumble in the background <br />for peace and harmony he has found<br /><br />katie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fallen-soldier/
