This is a great poem for someone who had a son in the marines. We can also do this for brother, husband, wife, daughter, etc. It has a place to put their phot. it reads as follows
My Marine Hero Son
This world has many heros, although you may not know their name
It's apparent that they gave their best, yet rarely get the fame
But among all of the hero's this world has ever had
There's not one that I admire more than my marine lad
He's more than just a hero, he never looks for praise
He's heroic in his quiet strength, and in his caring ways.
He may not be as famous, as those you hear about or see
But he's everything and so much more, a hero ought to be
His life is on the line, every day and every night
Every minute he's on guard, in case he has to fight
My son's a patriot, a brave and gallant man
Proudly serving this country
And my pride I'm sure you understand.
There are many things needed to keep our country free
My son makes the sacrifice, for you and for me
When I hear about a hero and the special things he's done
It reminds me of my son, for he's the greatest one!
