MY AMERICAN SACRIFICE

By: Isabella Jones in KY

My life has been hard.

Poverty, Sin, Injustice -

American Grey.

Then I met My Love.

A feeling that set me free.

American Light.

Courageous He Goes

Strong, Bold, Bright: Mission to Fight

American Brave

Please, come home to me.

How could I come to love again -

American Grave

Or Will Time Be Lost?

Do not evolve without me.

American Love

On our soil for good

Now peaceful, grow old with me.

American Home

Forced to roll dice.

American Sacrifice -

I’m proud no matter what.
