Bombs shells bursting, you dream of home,
Surrounded by fellow soldiers yet you still feel alone.

Doing your duty, doing what you think is right,
You would die in battle, to win this fight.

Though death surrounds you, you fight with honor,
For freedom and justice for all is your honor.

Friends and family in your heart and mind,
Your strength and courage for them you always find.

I may or may not believe in this war you fight,
But I'll still stand by you, so for the soldiers
in the Iraq war this poem I write.
