this is a poem about an honest truth. |
| I have stood up for the weak, And others who were infirmed. Sometimes I wore a uniform, In dessert storm, Across the street, while other times, I wore a jacket and a tank of air so descrete. There were nights I would have rather been in bed, Or drinking some adult beverage with friends instead, Or out on a date with a nice woman or two, But I gave that up so I could look out for those who couldn’t do. I don’t need thank you ,or pay, or such, Nor do I want it either or a single touch. Who am I? I am the police officer, The firefighter, The U.S. Marine, The sailor, Airman, or soldier, You never noticed watching from the sides, While you were being dumb , stupid, or just not right. Just remember this, While you are enjoying the life I provide, The freedoms you enjoy, Even the fact that you can’t divide, That there are people who gave you that right tis true. Who am I? The American Constitution, and I stand for you. |
