Tall and proud.
Your back straight as a lance.
My brother, my hero.
Dark, guarded eyes.
We could never imagine
what your eyes have seen.
Silent but strong.
You carry the weight of
our fears and our fate
on your broad shoulders.
Weary yet unfaltering.
The lines of your face
belie your mere 22 years.
Reluctant yet bold.
You'd sacrifice your
life to keep us safe.
There is nothing I could
say or do to show you
how proud I am of you.
My brother, my hero.

Nice piece here.... I loved the fact that you actually used words that some might not normally use in an everyday poem... which makes this stand out a little more than usual.. but overall very nice attempt here at giving us the best that you have got....
good luck. -
