Unknown Faces
To the unknown faces of the world
 that we hear about in the news about
how they stand up and defend our Nation
when we are under attack.
These unknown faces of the world
are everyday people like you and me.
They have a mind,
a soul,
and a heart.
Some people think they are war crazy
but truth be told
these unknown faces
are just like you and me.
They are carefree,
proud,
down to earth people,
and very interesting people
that have a little fear in them.
That's what makes them human.
To be able to put their lives in danger
to make sure that our Nation is safe.
These unknown faces stand tall,
full of pride for what they believe in.
As you see these unknown faces
walk by just know that
they are the ones that make you
feel safe and sound at night
when you lay down to sleep.
Stand and believe in the soldiers
 cause they have a story that
needs to be told.
We can do something in return
for our men and women
that serve this Nation,
 which is listen when they want
to tell you a story about what
they have been through.
Cause these unknown faces
 are like you and me.

Very sympathetic. It's tragic that so many have to die for a twisted ideology.

Poet from within,
keep your dreams
In sight
when they come in
grasp grab hold with
both hands
and hold on for the ride.
