A Soldier's Heaven Poem by sammie kelley

It was senseless some say going to war
But we should thank the soldiers for the load they bore
Even the bravest would pray at night
That God would give them the courage to fight

And day after day a friend would die
And although many wanted to there was no time to cry
They missed their families they missed their friends
And they asked everyday 'God when will it end'?

There was blood and death all around
Screaming and gunshots were the only sounds
Into depression many men fell
Wondering if they'd ever get through such hell

When the war was over who really won?
Brother killed brother no justice was done
Everyone thanked God when the men came home
But what about the families that were left all alone?

Father's, Son's, and brother's were missed that nite
Because they were killed in a senseless fight
But don't be sad for the ones who died like Eric, Shawn, and Kevin
Because if there's one thing that we all know
They went to a soldier's heaven..
