Entry TypeWritten Works

The life of a child
In the arms of bravery
Echoes of duty

Growing up in wars
Parents fighting for a cause
Their sacrifice hurts

Moving every year
Leaving friends, schools, and homes
Adapt or repeat

Always the new kid
Never truly belonging
Lost in transitions

Missing birthdays, games
Family dinners interrupted
By duty’s call

But strength is instilled
Resilience in their spirit
Pride in their blood
