The Life of an Army Brat

Life can be great, but then again life can be a pain
You can lose the person closest to you and then you feel like just giving up
This decision may seem like it is the best at the time, but you never want to do this
Everyone who loves you will feel the same as you did when you lost the person who was closest to you
This is how I felt when my father passed away while in the war
If I had never made this choice
I would still be able to talk to him and hear his reassuring voice
I still remember that very day he left
I begged and begged for him to not leave my mom and I
But he said, “Son this is for our country and I need to do this”
I begged and pleaded for him to not go
And the next thing you know he was gone like the wind

Six months later we get a letter in the mail saying that my father had passed away
He was a bomb disposal expert
And one day on the job he was defusing a bomb and he had it almost defused and then it blew up in his face like a firecracker
BOOM! POW! BOOM!
My father was a very strong man fighting ferociously for the free country we have
So now I feel that it is my fate that I go into the war and continue on his legacy
I decided that I should ferociously fight for freedom for our country and if I happened to pass in the war I knew it was for a good cause
