**to The Fallen Marines** Poem by Cherokee Lady

To the Fallen Marines

so you took a different path
one that is more true
not the path that makes this easy
but the one less traveled through

the war was big
at times was rough
the battles we fought
the world may judge
but even though
they'll never know
the world will always thank you

rest in peace
because your loved
dream good dreams
your days were tough
rest your mind
you fought enough

0h brothers, how we'll miss you!


I promise that I will never forget
the things that you have done
even when I find myself
no longer with my gun

and please forgive my hidden feelings
my body tends to hide
they're trapped inside this awful prison
enslaved by my pride

and never again will I say
my pay grade can out rank you
because you got to heaven first
and I'm on earth beneath you

so till the day we meet again
and my life on earth is through
guard those gates of heaven
until I can relieve you

until then...
oh brothers, how we'll miss you!
