Tears of sand
By Winter Born
And once again
My friends
I spend my early hours
Standing
tall
Standing proud
Standing with my brothers
Hopefully I will again feel the kick
Hopefully, I will again
hear the sound
Of 7.62 rounds
Drowning the sounds
Of the music in my ear
M240-B
My most trusted friend
My protector
Your protector
Hear the engine
rev
Wheels on desert ground
wind in my face
Drowning
the sounds
Of screams and rounds...
My lovely
Winter Queen helped me finish/fix this one and now I am reposting it.
