Saving A Life Poem by Ben mcelfresh

These men you see in camo
you can't make out their faces

you don't know who they are
yet you know this is right

You heard the gunfire from the next room
you thought surely this was your end

you see this man, he's coming for you
you thought it was over

this man was saving your life
Another man in camo

you think he's here for you
but hes come to save the wounded

you wonder why he wont take you further
Now you see the fire

you begin to run
now you know why he came for the other

you could make it out alive
the solider was saving a life

All these men you thought were demons
turned your beliefs into thinking they're heros

these soliders didn't ask for your support
they were only doing their job

These veterans all saved a life
