A Marines Poem

If I ever go to war Mom
Please don't be afraid
There are some things I must do
To keep those promises I made
I'm sure there will be some heartbreak
And I know you'll shed a tear
But your son is a Marine now Mom
There is nothing you should fear

If I ever go to war Dad
I know that you'll be strong
But you won't have to worry
Because you taught me right from wrong
You've kept me firmly on the ground
You taught me how to fly
Your son is a Marine now Dad
I love you, Semper Fi

If I ever go to war Sis
There are some things I want to say
You've always had my back
And now its time to repay
You'll always be my daybreak
Through all of life's dark clouds
You're brother is a Marine now Sis
I promise to make you proud

If I ever go to war my friends
We will never be apart
Though we may never meet again
I'll hold you in my heart
Remember all the times we had
Don't let your memories cease
Your Friend is a Marine now
I'll die to bring you peace

And when I go to heaven
And see those pearly gates
I'll gladly decline an entrance
And stand my post and wait
"I'm sorry sir I can't come in
I'm sort of in a bind
You see I'm still a Marine sir
So I can't leave them behind"
