I AM A SOLDIER

If I die in a war zone
Box me up and send me home...
Put My gun on my chest
And tell my mom I did my best...
And tell my dad not to bow,
He will never get tension from me now,
Tell my brother study perfectly keys of my bike
Will be his permanently...
Tell my sister don't be upset
Her brother will not rise after this sunset....
Don't tell my friends they are hearties and start
To ask for parties
Tell my love not to cry
BECAUSE I AM A SOLDIER BORN TO DIE....

I SALUTE ALL SOLDIERS
