Military Poem

Here is a very touching military poem:

But You Didn't

~Anonymous

Remember the day I borrowed

your brand-new car and dented it?

I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't.

And remember the time I dragged you to the beach,

and you said it would rain, and it did?

I thought you'd say, "I told you so." But you didn't.

Do you remember the time I flirted with all

the guys to make you jealous, and you were?

I thought you'd leave, but you didn't.

Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie

all over your car rug? I thought you'd hit me,

but you didn't.

And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance

was formal and you showed up in jeans?

I thought you'd drop me, but you didn't.

Yes, there were lots of things you didn't do.

But you put up with me, and loved me, and protected me.

There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you

when you returned from Iraq.

But you didn't.

Let's take the time to remember all of the military men and women

who have willingly given their lives for our freedom,

and for all of the families who are left behind.
