Matthew Bresley Poems

As the soldier crawls in his bunk, after a long day in the sand,
Fighting for our freedom, in a place called Afghanistan,

He thinks about his wife at home, his children in their beds,
...

A soldier packs his bags and says good bye once again, he kissed his wife and children his duty never ends,

He swore his life to service, his boots are all he knows, with tears streaming down their face his children watch him go,
...

A soldier is the reason our children can go and play
A soldier is the cause for their daddy's raise in pay

We never think about it yet it happens everyday
...
