Marine of Mine
Six foot two inches, a brod figure to me.
A Sicangu Lakota, he that stands very proudly.
he gave me a home and a place to sleep,
Put me back together and back on my feet.
This is my uncle, my father, my friend to keep.
A veteren, a warrior, I hear an injured solider's weep.
And even with a broken back,
he ignores the pain and gets back on the track.
Stength and wisdoom, he has nothing that lacks.
He provides for his family, a permanent act.
Always said he would take care of me, that was our pact.
And from begining to end he stated that as a fact.
A hard working man, no fear it seems,
but this is the life of a long-term Marine.
