New Beginnings
Now, I will be concise for Stars and Stripes
In order to tell you the just types
So far, of my military life
Military life is nice.
But I’m here to give you some advice.
It can be really tough.
When you and your friends get rebuffed
But through the light of day
I just have to say
Life is very sweet when walked through on your feet
Getting to explore the world makes you feel complete
Even though you feel bittersweet
When separated from your past
You gain the ability to be steadfast.
And recognize that military life is a blast
When viewed in an upcast
Many different cultures all amassed.
Into one fun ride
Yet a very, very quick stride
But as you stand back up.
It does not feel as tough.
You make new friends.
And create many new beginnings.
Being a military kid is good and bad. Sometimes it is good because I make some really good friends and a year or two I have to leave my friends. I miss them a lot. A good thing is that I get to travel and go to new places, I get to meet new friends. It’s like being on a time limit. Staying and leaving for summer, I’m excited.
Remember the ghosts,
The ones we left behind
Those faces blurred by time
Voices echoing in empty halls
Never to be seen again
Remember the ghosts
Remember the ghosts,
Those who shaped our days,
Who stood beside us in success,
Who knew our dreams, lives, and thoughts
Remember the ghosts.
Remember the ghosts,
The ones we fought beside
Brandishing not swords, but hearts
The ones we built homes with,
But left behind
Remember the ghosts
Remember the ghosts,
The ones we knew the most,
Who knew us better than we did
Who deserve more than anything,
Yet live only in our minds.
Remember the ghosts
Remember the ghosts,
The ones we loved,
The ones we hated,
The ones we barely knew
We now miss them all the same.
Remember the ghosts.
Remember the ghosts,
For they remember us,
In quiet thoughts and distant echoes
In places we have long left
But never truly left alone.
Remember the ghosts,
And they will remember us

Temporaries
Familiarity temporary.
Gray skies,
Sunny days,
Nothing changes it.
I leave them behind,
Or I’m the one in the dust.
Everything changes,
But I remain.
Everything,
temporary,
And I shall savor it.
Amongst that dust,
something builds anew.
Amongst the sea of people
That I shall meet and pass,
Is someone who will be irreplaceable.
Unforgotten.
Amongst the regrets of my life
There will be gratitude
for experiences brought.
Those temporaries,
Life,
builds me
Into who I am.
Whether it’s welcomed or not.
