Patriot

He is brave
He is strong, fearless,
His walk is steadfast
He serves with his heart
A patriot
Lives to fight, to serve
For a purpose
He has not forgotten
That fateful day
When two planes took the wrong course
When two towers fell.
He serves for his
Neighbor
Brother
Sister
That died that fateful day
He has not forgotten
He knows what he fights for
The fallen, who served as he does,
War made him who he is
Death made him who he is
A patriot
He has not forgotten
He fights with his heart and soul
His father is rich,
But he doesn’t fight for money
He knows what he fights for
He is
A patriot.

Listening to the country song "Have You Forgotten" really inspired this poem.
