Battles Of The Brave

In Long endless battles they fought and died
While at home their mothers cried
Blood seeped through their skin
They keep fighting with the hope of a win
Even when all hope was lost
The soldiers kept fighting and defied the odds
When the foods and supplies were running low
The still fought just as well against the foe
Through mud,across steep land and over desert sand
The struggled with weapon in hand
When the captain yelled attack
All you could hear was the guns fires "crack"
The screams and yells from the injured
Were mentally scarring for life
There was a glint of fear in their eyes
The winning streak was on the rise
When the battle had finally ended
They rained victorious and their efforts could be fended
