If. I Fail.

Nicholas Lee Beaver

If I fail...bless the time good and bad.
Because...I know I gave it all I had.

If trouble finds my way.
I hope I live another day...
And If love seems lost...
I pray it was not to my cost.
If I fail...
I pray my soul will be with God
Because...life seemed odd
And If I fail...to my loved ones.
You were the deareast.
To my soldiers we stand fearless.
If I fail...I love all of you brothers.
And when ground is my home I will always protect you.
As my spirit hovers...
If one...was to define. the heart real as mine?
People that knew me well. Would always sign,
I fought for loved ones to the end of my time.
