Simple verses from a dark night in Iraq

©Dustin Fast, 2007

All night and all day,
Right here we’ll be.
I’ll never leave her,
She’ll never leave me.

When it hits the fan,
She’s up to the task.
She’ll kill for me,
I need only ask.

She gets little in return,
Just occasional TLC.
But I take care of her,
And she takes care of me.

Who is this girl?
Not a girl or a wife.
She is my weapon, my rifle,
My keeper and taker of life.
