Soldiers Family Heritage

Every family member had served this nation He looked forward to it with anticipation Every member had left their mark And on this road he would embark. Members had served since the civil war It was a desire, not a chore. With pride and determination he knew What he had to do. He had to defend the red, white, and blue. He decided to try for the navy seals It was a desire which he did feel. He had to be the best that he could be For the honor of his family. The training for the seals is really hell After the first week he could tell. Most of the members of his platoon Decided to give up much to soon. This was the biggest challenge that he would face And his name he would not disgrace. He thought of his family and what they went through And he knew what he had to do. He called and asked his family to come down And seeing them, new strength he found. His father held the civil war flag And for that he was glad. It had been passed down from generation to generation And this sight was his salvation. A new inspiration arose in his chest And he would give his very best. The family gave him the strength he would need For in him they had planted the seed. he would awake with his mind crystal clear And achieving his goal he had no fear. Now he was a navy seal, so much pride he did feel He had achieved not one goal but two And of this his family knew. There is now another generation on its way And to the lord he does pray Let this continue down the line For when it becomes my sons time.
