Troops

 

No one really understands

What its like to grow up and watch your dad

Leave for war and come back,

I am now 17 and my dad has been to Afghanistan and back

And now he’s going back soon.

No one really knows how much pain the families go through

When they see their family member pack their bags

And eventually have to say good bye.

As they get on their plain they start to cry

They don’t know if they will come back alive.

This isn’t a joke they go to war.

And all we can do is sit here and hope it all going to be ok.

People really don’t know what its like for this to happen.

What if it was your dad who went to war.

And never came back?           

Or he did come back

But he has to go again

And miss the most important dates,

Imagine your dad not being there for your birthday

Or Christmas, or even grad.

But he’s out serving our country and making us proud.

No one also understands the feeling you get when your dad is labeled as a hero,

To know that he is doing something to save the world.

Being in military has its ups and downs

But with out them we would all be 6 feet in the ground.

So next time you see a military man or woman.

Thank them for serving our country so we can live happy and free
