Terrorism

Fear,
I want to keep loved ones near.
So they know no fear.

Dread,
Am I sick in the head?
I feel I will be dead.
If we do not put this war to bed.

Joy,
For all the young and old
The ones who are brave and bold.

Gratitude,
For all the service men and women,
Alive or dead,
They remain always in our heads.

Terrorism takes your joy and happiness
Leaving only doubt and fear,
But I am hear to tell you
What we have instead,
Is joy and love in our heads
Gratitude in our hearts.

Brave,
Strong,
These are our boys and girls at arms,
Defending our country instead of working on farms

Thank you for all you do
I have joy and gratitude because of you.
