katie - fallen soldier

the soldier runs to his next position
dodging bullets
with expert precision
he reaches cover and carries on firing
untill the gunshots and bombs go quiet
his head start spiriling
with a single glance at his camo shirt
blood soaked he hits the dirt
a fellow soldier comes to his aid
he cant go now and leave his brigade
he pulls out a picture of life back at home
he knows he'll never be alone
he holds it to his chest and looks to the sky
he cannot lay here while others die
but there is nothing he can do
just watch his friends fight on through
as he drifts to the holy land
and hears the music of the angles band
the gunfire just a rumble in the background
for peace and harmony he has found
