Living up to potential

Poem of random thought splattered throughout my noggin!

Lead me though the marshes
Be the platoon leader I need
Carry back the body of a friend well loved

Capture my attention
Make me lean in closer
Cause my mind to wander round a theory most peculiar

Lift my spirit high
Guide my heart through paths not walked
Give me the chance to prove myself

Be my friend
Be there for me when I need you
Be one of the few to know my secrets, held close

A friends is a friend
no matter the trend
that became their end

And then they entered Germany...
