Love for A Country
Location
In this grand country we live in
In the great US of A
There is nothing we aren’t allowed to think
There is nothing we aren’t allowed to say
Because of thousands of heroes
Who daily risk their lives
They miss their friends, their children
Their husbands or their wives
Not only do they protect their family
They, in the same way, defend you and me
Leave home to guard millions of strangers
Across many lands, and across many seas
56 men signed a document
Dated in 1776
The Thirteen Colonies pushed for freedom
This new nation was rebuilt like with bricks
And it is really sad to think
But sometimes people you love have to leave
Departing to fight for people they will never meet
But this country is their family is something they believe
And I’m starting to know how it is like
To see that loved one prepare to go
This man’s love for our country is something I’ve never seen
He is my boyfriend, and His name is Joe
His plan is to join the NAVY
To serve his country as a Marine
I asked when he made this plan, and he said “Middle school”
So he decided to do this before he was even a teen.
What I love the most about him
Is the patriotic feeling he shares with me
And because of him and many others
I will always be free
