You Have Been on my Side Since the Military

All my life you have been on my side since the military.

You have taught me about the fascinating parts of the military.

Dad, you are the best at explaining Dunkirk to me.

You told blitzkrieg was made by the Nazi military.

Ever since I was 4 you loved the fact that I was very interested.

You know I have always wanted to be in the military.

My life has been predicted from the start to the future.

I have been training by doing workouts and wearing uniforms from the military.

I want to go into the military because of our country.

Dad, you have been the one who pushes my mental and physical strength for the military.

I have always wanted to see how you thought of war.

You would always tell me to live your life but you would love me to go to the military.

From WWI to WWII you have taught me the strategies of the Allies and Axis.

You have heard my dream about me in WWll on Hacksaw Ridge as the allied military.

I have loved that you have pushed down the tradition of the army.

Everyone doesn't like that I want to be in the military.

Thanks to you I have pushed myself to the absolute limit.

I love you dad for thinking that I will make it to the military.

You have loved me since my name was named Alex.

Dad thank you for helping me reach my goal of getting into the military.

On Sundays, my cousins got up at 4:00

They put on there winter closes to get out the door

Every morning for two months

Cutting down wood in the freezing temperature

They go out and plowed lawns for others

Every winter for the last 3 years, but no one ever thanked them.

They say that things just cannot grow

All that hard work all for nothing

Pushing themselves to shovel the snow

The degrees go down to 20 but it never stops them

They smash the shovel into the fresh snow

Throwing the snow into piles so it doesn't affect anyone

It takes them hours upon hours to finish

They always want to finish the drastic cold job but they cant

For people inside, they think it is easy but it is really hard

They say that things just cannot grow

Everyone should be thanked for what they

Even if you're putting out the trash

Especially if they are doing it for older people

From small to big jobs it is only for good.

You only need to be good to your community

You still should be rewarded with people knowing who you are

They say that things just cannot grow
