Im not insane, Im just different

A poem for our troops........

You defend us when we get put down,
You will save us before we drown.
You fight for us even if we think its not right,
You dont care about the money all you want is to defend our rights.
You go to a place that feels like hell,
Yet you still dont yell.
You wear a uniform that weighs a ton,
Yet you still go on walkin in the blazing sun.
You smile when you finally get to read a letter,
You frown when you arent able to write back later.
You place that letter in your pocket close to your heart,
So you can remember why you fought.
When you finally get some sleep at night,
You hear something and know its time to fight.
When you think about your husband/wife,
You remember why you need to fight.
When you finally get to go home or so,
You smile but then frown when you have to go.
You hug and kiss the picture of your family and friends,
And can't wait till this all ends.
