They say angels can't join the army
I say it isn't so
They say its because they have wings
I say its better, no?
They say there is no such thing
I say I saw it there
They say I'm crazy but I'm
not pulling out my hair
What's left to do...
But stand proud and be true?

"They say I'm crazy, but I'm not pulling out my hair" Hehe that made me laugh. Like your saying Nope, I think I'm pretty sane. LOL I say keep believing in the magic!

Very touching. 'Army Wings' The title itself invokes the image of a battleweary angel! I really loved your first stanza, it's simple yet manages to convey the brevity of the words spoken with an innocence, that seems to be a lost virtue in the field. Bravo! Good luck with the contest!

touching,
i dont know if its the contest or the weather, but i have goosebumps, you may know that im an army wife, i like your attempt at making the background shades of green (camo maybe?) i like the take on this promt and i agree with you that its better if angels do join the army because they are there to save ours when we need them, i love your last lines, good luck in the contest and keep writing, -Amy
