A Military Brothers Biggest Regret

Location

These nights i sit here

This spot of mine so humble and full of nature

I can see life go by wondering why

I made this mistake to go and leave you both behind

I sit here with tears running down my face

So i close my eyes so memories will rise as the images as the images pass by 

Like film flying by

Just to pass time as I'm oceans away

Wishing i was home so i can hold in my arms

Knowing both of you will be bigger, stronger, smarter, and all I'm proud of

I'll walk up to you tears running down my face

In this moment i cherish so

I whisper in your ears and promise you i will never go

I wrote this poem before i knew about this scholarship. I chose to do this poem becasue i wrote it from the heart, my brother is away in war and he always writes me how he feels when he is away. So i decided i would put his thoughts and words together and create a poem.
