...in my boxers...

A wounded boy,
overwhlemed by the
forces of adulthood,
needing control of
his future,
wanting her love,
for pride, for flesh,
for heart and soul.
Aware of the sacrifice,
and yet failing
to fall, prone
and where I belong.
Forgive me Father,
for I am a cocky MARINE,
learned so for survival,
worried about the
future, and
still just a little
boy,
overwhelmed
and standing strong.

The few. The proud. The Marines.

It is a courageous heart that fears and stands anyway.

Excellent Daniel...so good to see your words here.
Stay safe....

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.
