I am Army Strong!
I’ve braved an obstacle course 50 feet high,
I’ve climbed a rope wall and touched the sky,
I’m way too good at saying goodbye,
I am Army Strong.
My life is in boxes I’ll never unpack,
My family is strong and they have my back,
My future is unknown but I’m on the right track,
I am Army strong.
There was never a choice in where we were sent,
I followed my family wherever they went,
There was always an ear if I needed to vent,
I am Army Strong.
My father was sent to dangerous places,
While we stayed behind on the ‘safest’ of Bases,
When he would come home there would be tight embraces,
I am Army Strong.
My house was covered in Red White and Blue,
My family’s love was also our glue,
There’s nothing I knew I’d ever undo,
Because I am Army Strong.
Awe. Beautiful poem and tribute to your life.
