Young boys and young girls
Leave to bring freedom to other shores
Many will fight many will die
All even before sunrise
Some will live and tell this tale
And others will be left on the battlefield
Young faces can be turned old
Just by witnessing the big and the bold
Children become men
Right then and there
War is dangerous
So handle with care

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN

Tears are safety valves for the heart when too much pressure is laid upon it. (I don&#039;t remember who wrote that, but I LOVE it!)
