Thats Life

Everybody turns on you at some point in life be it your friend, familiy or enemy


This can't be right !

Someone who passed away before her time

“My Brothers”

A Solders Wish


 

Carry me home if I fall in battle

Cover me with the flag that I love

Carry me home with my fallen brothers

Who fought by my side through it all

 

Don’t grieve for me I’m not lost...
