MY BROTHER- A U.S. ARMY SOLDIER

My brother, a U.S. Army soldier...in Iraq is where he is.
My brother, fighting for his country and some pride, while my mother, who loves him so much..all she does is cry.
I've been thinking about him lately, waiting for him so patiently.
He's so far away, I hope he knew..."Angel, we do nothing but miss you."
Faith and strength he will need, and that I know he has indeed.
Fighting for what he stands for, I just can't stand it anymore.
I can't stand the fact that he could get hurt, but I believe he's a smart soldier and he becomes alert.
I hope that with this poem he knows how I feel, and that I will always pray for him as I kneel.
He's the only brother that I have; when I think about all the good times I just laugh.
A U.S. Army soldier who we think about daily, and who we depend on to come home safely.

He lives far away so it is even harder because we dont get to see him before he leaves. it has been so hard for my family, but it seems that my mom is in denial of what could happen. he is only 18 and has already to been to iraq and almost lost his life when the humV was blown up. His friend next to him died and he saved the drivers life. this past week has been so hard for me. i am so scared of what could happen. like you i try to remember the good times we had, and just hope he comes hoom safely. i like your poem and am in the process of writing one for my brother as well.
