As you have seen, I write based off of my reaction to the history I research. This poem has been shared by 2 men who lived it. Thank you Trevor and Damian for allowing me to share this.
He’s Not Heavy ... He’s My Brother
There I stand alone in the dark Worried I might not make it home From the corner I see the shadow of someone Someone that might take me home
As he draws near I can see a little more A friendly face I think to myself Might be here to guide me back home Nothing is running through my body but fear
He continues to come closer He is what most fear He is a brother that never gives up A true friend with love tracin through his veins
To come back is only in honor To take you back home is the prayer He hears from miles away Nothing will stop him from getting there
He will take bullets to get you home He will stand beside you in the biggest fire fight He will lay it all on the line Just to be the brother next to you
In the end you would ask why he came back In his heart he knows that you would if it was him To stand beside each other through hell And to tell him to go first through the gates of heaven
To you I say this: My Brother My Friend Your in my heart till the end
