He Gave His Life

by SamanthaZombro

To protect us,

To serve us,

To let us be free.

Guns and violence.

It's not what he longed for.

He only wished to save the country. 

To let us live without fear. 

Dont worry he is here. 

Willing to risk it all. 

Even if he may fall. 

To him it means everything. 

Because to us, safety he brings.

I am a quiet, sweet girl that loves to express herself through poetry. Hard times hit me when I was only about six months old. I have a heart problem and a pacemaker, however this doesn't stop me! I'm a strong individual who doesn't give up easily!
