    Extreme Costs

     I wasn't born a fighter,
    and I'll never be,
    Unless my country calls for it,
    Unless they need me.
    There's a sense of pride in my heart
    that can't be disturbed
    and if Uncle asked me to fight,
    you know that I would.
    This country is my home,
    This country is all I know.
    And to save her from all the evil things,
    I would stand in front of bullets,
    I'll be buried in the ground,
    I'll fall with all my friends,
    I'll get lost and never be found,
    I'd easily give my life to keep her safe.

    Yeah, it sounds scary,
    but fear's the last thing on my brain.
    Fear is nothing in the eyes of protecting my home.
    This country is all I know.
    America, This Country, is My Home.

    You should send this to every veteran you know. Words so heartfelt and wise from such a young heart! Our politicians could learn alot from you.

    This gave me chills and it makes my proud to know that there are still people out there who care about our country and keeping us safe. Thank you!

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
