Manny was a soldier boy Fought for his county so far away Always hoping he would stay safe And be home again someday But a snipers bullet ricocheted It hit him in the chest And he thanked God he was on his side Because he was wearing his bullet proof vest The pain he felt was hard to bear But at least alive was he For many of his friends had found This might not always be The outcome to this situation Their lives were always on the line But thank god in this instance Manny would end up fine War is never easy The blood and gore a horrible sight But this made Manny and his compatriots Always ready for the fight
