You Took My Place

I couldn’t serve though I tried.
You took my place and you died.
How I cried ….

Your laughter rings in my ears,
we had been friends many year.
Tore me inside ….

Put our country before self.
Now a picture on the shelf
makes tears fall.

All give … but some give it all.
Losing family, friends … bawl
till tears stall.

Many tears fell, I gave up
couldn’t run nor take step
… feared the call.

And … when it came …fell apart--
you took a piece of my heart.
Gave it all!

I couldn’t serve though I tried.
You took my place and you died.
How I cried ….

Why did you leave me alone?
The decision was your own …
tore me inside.

To all who have or are serving our country ... hugs, prayers and my sincere 'thank you.' ~ Sandra S. Corona
