A New Face by *Anderon:iconAnderon:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


In my head
I see your face
Laughing
Smiling
Careless
Nary a frown

Your hair is long
Past your shoulders
Wavy
Thick
Black
As the night

You laze all day
But in your own way
Diligent
Caring
Loving
True as always

The truest friend
Keeper of secrets
Fair
Just
Ridiculous
When needed

Now you’re grown
No longer a kid
Responsible
Adult
Mature
And in charge

I look at your face
Seeing my brother
And not
Older
Still young
Caring as ever

And also I see
A new face, too
Soldier
Fighter
Grunt
Hard working

I’m frightened for you
Your future’s unclear
Dangerous
Uncertain
But fun
So you say

You love what you do
Living with purpose
Freedom
Direction
Adventure
It’s clear

So happy I am
You’ve found yourself
In working
Driving
Training
And fighting.

Dedicated to my brother, who loves his job. I may miss him, and worry for him, but I'm happy he found a place where he can put his amazing energy to use, and enjoy doing so as much as he does.

And yes, when I lived at home, he was a lazy fellow. It's not that he didn't do anything, it's more that he didn't channel his energy toward anything truly productive.

Wow, imagine that, huh? My brother actually worth something. Yeah yeah, you're expendable to the army, but I'm proud of you, hun. I'd have supported any decision you made that got you out of that house though, and you know it. This one just happened to be something I can be especially proud of.

And our sister supports you too, in her own way. Yeah, she's scared for you, and yeah I'm sure she wishes you had chosen a different path, but she supports you.

A sincere smile is worth more than gold, and a true friend is worth more than the most precious of gems.

i know its amasing to think that me of all people could be worth somehing. im glad ye support me i know mom dont its "dangerous." walking at night around town is dangerous. how often is there a drive by back at moms? prob more often than my company recives contact. as a side note im in more danger from a rollover than getting shot. especially with sahl as a driver. he drives about as well as he shoots his saw. he has a license but isnt qualified on the saw.
