This is about my brother and he's now in the Marines... so yeah.
---------
He was a boy who was your son.
Now he's a solider with a gun.
He loved to be around,
now he does push-ups on the ground.
He was a boy who might have cried,
now he holds his fear deep inside.
He always wanted to play guitar;
now he drives a tank instead of a car.
You wanted him to wear a helmet with his bike;
but it was loose and not right.
Now he makes sure it's bullet proof and tight.
His childhood is gone,
but your the one who taught him to be strong.
