Living a Fulfilling Life

By Matthew Brown

Our heads once held high

Chest out

Top of our game

Now they hang

In what we perceive as shame

Body slouched

No sense of direction

No drive to be found

Just walking through life

Poison thoughts

Sour our lives

Searching for our new course

What will it take

To bring our head up

Hold it again high and proud

It takes a team

Takes FOCUS

To begin the healing

Giving us a goal

To show us

That no matter what

We have something

To fight for

To live for

To step up

To help our self

Reconcile the past

To move forward once again

Stepping up

Adapt and overcome

This isn’t our end

But just a new beginning

Filled with love

We belong here

We fought to be here

We battle again

The purpose we now have

Nothing can stop us

No more holding back

All found in the back woods

Of Missouri

We found our selves

Semper Fi

Till the day we die

Now and forever
