For Chris Kyle
You were stalwart, my Navy shipmate,
you didn't hesitate,
you knew when you earned becoming
a U.S. Navy SEAL,
war became much more real,
those who criticize,
don't realize,
it's easy for them to misjudge
from their cozy armchairs,
they should thank God they
weren't sent over there,
as war causes so many of
our soldiers despair,
these haughty critics would of
been the first to call out for you-
if the merciless enemies walked down
their U.S. hometown avenue,
you defended us, your people,
and you we deeply respect and appreciate,
rest in God, and our gratitude, shipmate.
