My Brother, A Soldier

When I needed you most,
you were always there.
Right by my side,
with your love & care.

Ready to protect me,
with your life.
Fighting,
to keep me save a night.

Swept with fear,
from the day that you left.
Unable to forgive you,
for the decisions you don't regret.

You signed your name,
on that dotted line.
Without so much,
as a reason why.

Before I knew it,
your bags were packed.
Then you walked out the door,
without looking back.

Now your life is surrounded,
by hostile enemies.
While I wait for you,
to return to me.

Everyday your gone,
my fear grows stronger.
Praying to God,
that it won't be much longer.
