The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller


I wonder would you hear me out
If I told you that I love you, but didn’t know your name
To tell you thank you
For the joy I feel today
And for the battle tomorrow that you’ll fight in my stead
I want you know that I understand your pain
It is because of it that I have these opportunities to gain
For one day I hope to be
As great as someone like you
To fight for the people I love
To protect a home as great
To one day stand on the same soil as you
To say I am a Hero just as you
You inspire me to soar
To the heights you have reached
That your love is unconditional
and your spirit no limits
I remember no fears
I remember my freedoms
I remember the sacrifices you made
I remember it was all because of you
You are a true hero
Through and Through
Remember, for me, that I am forever indebted
Forever proud to say
You are My HERO.

I wrote this for a journal entry we had in class talking about the sacrifices of people at war.
