Day of Decoration

You\'ve given your life

In times of grief and war

Deployed to foreign lands

American to the core,

Protector of the families

That love you so much

Trading hugs for bullets

For the pictures you clutch

Your feelings we feel

Our feelings we share

But none of us have seen

What you have seen there

With clinched fists

Aimed at the sky

Wondering, is it worth it

Absolutely, but why?

Now as you lie in peace

Having defended the declaration

This here is for you

On your day of decoration.
