This One Man

While I was deployed after 9/11, when my family was at home praying for my safe return, Brandi my second oldest daughter wrote this poem. She was 13 at the time.

This One Man

By Brandi Anderson

This one man got married, had kids.

This one man loved God,

Went to church.

This one man had a family who loved him, he loved them.

This one man had a wife,

Three daughters.

But this one man gave up his perfect life for his God and his country.

This one man left his home.

This one man risked his life.

This one man sailed the ocean.

This one man fought in the war.

This one man gave up his perfect life for his God and his country.

This one man is a father.

This one man is a husband.

This one man is a Christian.

This one man is a daddy.

But this one man gave up his perfect life for his God and his country.

This one man I love.

This one man loves me.

This one man changed my life.

This one man is my DADDY.
