The ****** sun rises To meet the green boys preparing. I watch the day divide. Alas, if my story end here Let it be one of courage Not rage Let it be of a human Not a boy Let my name be lost among the fallen My soul forsaken among the ****** Let my story wrap its arms around my brothers. Let my death be life for them. O! The gift I wish to give. The sacrifice I face for them. If my story end here Let theirs live on.

Memorial Day
The ****** sun rises To meet the green boys preparing. I watch the day divide. Alas, if my story end here Let it be one of courage Not rage Let it be of a human Not a boy Let my name be lost among the fallen My soul forsaken among the ****** Let my story wrap its arms around my brothers. Let my death be life for them. O! The gift I wish to give. The sacrifice I face for them. If my story end here Let theirs live on.
Draft! Just some rough scribblings as we observe memorial day and rember those who didn't make it home.
