AS REAL AS....... (an original poem) tell me what you think

[nyke1]

AS REAL AS SIGNING YOUR LIFE AWAY SO YOUR FAMILY HAS INSURANCE

AS REAL AS BEING GONE FOR SIX MONTHS JUST TO COME HOME FOR ONE

AS REAL AS MISSING ALL THE IMPORTANT CHILDHOOD EVENTS AND STEPS

BECAUSE YOU'RE SERVING YOUR COUNTRY IN A FORIEGN PLACE

AS REAL AS YOUR SPOUSE BEGGING GOD TO SEND YOU HOME SAFE

JUST TO BE SENT BACK FOR ANOTHER TOUR IN LESS THAN TEN MONTHS

AS REAL AS CHOOSING A DREAM LIST OF DUTY STATIONS IN THE STATES

JUST TO BE DEPLOYED STRAIGHT OUT OF TRAINING, W/O THE FAMILY

AS REAL AS BARELY MAKING ENDS ME WITH YOUR SPOUSE WORKING

BECAUSE THE MORE YOU MAKE THE MORE THEY TAKE.

AS REAL AS NOT BEING ABLE TO SHARE THE DETAILS OF YOU JOB

FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY AND PROTECTION (YOUR FAMILY)

 

AS REAL AS THE PRIDE YOU FEEL TO SAY YOU'RE A SOLDIER OR TROOP

AND AS REAL AS KNOWING THAT YOU ARE ALL HEROS AND WITHOUT

YOUR SACRIFICE, AMERICA WOULDN'T BE AS GREAT.

-THANK YOU-
