Cadet Schmo


This ones for Jo Schmo So let's bow our heads In respect for Schmo's life As a finely-trained young man Schmo had a life with many ups And many downs to match His dream his whole life Was to serve in Iraq Jo has a loving Mom, Dad Who rarely saw their brave son As he proudly fought over seas For the Red, White, and Blue Dodging bullets and saving lives Schmo has a right to be honored He fought for those who were too small To keep their rights unalienable So this ones for Jo Be merry, don't cry He did what he felt was right Until the day that he died

So many of my friends lately have been joining the military I decided I should write this poem. It's really hard to come to terms with. I am so proud of all of them though and I know that their choices bring them joy. I just wish they'd do something safer-like gardening. Be safe guys xoxoxo
