Tribute to a Friend
I received an e-mail today from Cpl. Brandon Strassler USMC today. Brandon was a good friend of Cpl. Kyle Renahan's from Cherry Point. He had written a poem about how he felt about Kyles death, and Claire's death too. Here it is:
GROWTHI'm learning to grow
I'm seeing the light
I realize what is happening
It's all about the fight
My emotions run deep
My soul cries out
I witness my purpose
I learn what life's all about
He whispers his words
He feeds my heart
I fuel my curiosity
I try to do my part
She shows me her love
She leads me her way
I tiptoe so softly
I catch up someday
His memory keeps me going
His memory soothes my pain
I smile at his picture
I know he didn't pass in vain
They both were called upon
They had completed their journey
I look back and see it now
I hope to learn from their maturity
I'm learning to grow
I'm feeling so safe
I FINALLY realize what is happening
It's all about the faith
Brandon
