don't you cry

Location

don’t you cry
I will be away, but not for very long.
Remember the time 
I used to play with transformer toys until dawn.

All the time I spent at the bleachers by the baseball field
I never wanted to leave until ten.
I turned to her eyes and said
auntie when are we going to the park again?

It’s time for me to make my dreams a genuine reality
don’t let more tears go down your cheeks.
My time has come to show my ability
I should go and return within weeks.

Not long, until my farewell
I know that time is running out.
I hope you realize things will go well
I will be home soon without a doubt.

My mission in life is not going to be an easy one
Water would move my vessel from side to side.
i salute you with honor

every obstacles that lies ahead, I will always keep you by my side.

life has been tough
I remember hearing horrific sounds of gunshots
Next thing I remember, I fell on the ground full of concrete cement
A group of folks came to my aid, but I only saw the eyes of my loved ones.

I can only hear the sound of my loved ones
Asking me if I was ok.
I turned to them and said
Don’t worry we will meet another day.
