Little guy played soldier when he was young. Grew into an athlete in school, he was a genius, he was no bum. He graduated and followed his dream, his dream of being a United States Marine. The little guy now big, went to boot camp, where there he was the guide, yes he was a champ. Went to the fleet as an infantryman, then his time came to deploy to Afghanistan. There he fought long and hard, kept the enemy at bay, kept them afar. Armed with his M-4, he took no mercy, fought to protect his Marines because they're deserving. He fought in the hills and down below, he loved being a Marine, you can see it his face, you can see his eyes glow. He took all the battles with not even a flinch, til his day came lying there in a ditch. While bleeding from his wounds, he thought about his life before he grew.
Thought about his life anew. Thought about playing soldier when he was young. Thought how in school he was no bum. Thought about his athletic days. Thought about boot camp, and how it paved the way, he thought about the day he earned his, EGA. Last thought was, I'll do it all again, if I wasn't on my way out, I'd continue this fight in Afghanistan. As he lay there, the fight was still on, in his dying glory, he tried to fight on. His eyes now close, his soul reaching for the sky. Rest easy Marine, rest easy little guy!!
