Black Hawk

 Black Hawk 

In the cockpit of a Black Hawk, I take flight,

Through endless skies, with all my might.

An Eagle guarding nest on mountains tall and steep,

I keep our skies safe, my watchful vigil I keep.

Rotor blades slicing through the azure hue,

A fearless guardian, my mission clear and true.

In times of darkness, I am the way,

The beacon, the dawn of a brand new day.

The thrill of rescue, rising high and strong,

In the eye of the storm where I truly belong.

Lives in my hands, a burden heavy to bear,

With my valiant crew, I gladly share 

An adventure unfolds, in each mission I embark,

With a vow in my heart, to keep and protect, a sacred mark.

Saving lives in chaos, a purpose so bold,

For every soul in danger, a story to be told.

But as I chase the stars in the midnight blue,

My thoughts return to the family I knew.

My family, my anchor, the ones I hold dear,

I miss them every minute, day and year.

I miss them every moment, every single day,

In their love and absence, my strength finds its way.

Like an eagle guarding its nest on the highest peak,

I stand guard in the sky, protecting the weak.

To ensure our skies are safe for generations to come,

For my family, for freedom, I will never succumb.

For the future, for freedom, for love's sweet embrace,

I fight to keep our skies safe, a defender of space.

With each flight, I carry their hopes and dreams,

Through the star-studded canvas, where the moonlight gleams.

A promise unbroken, forever I'll keep,

In the wild, boundless skies, my vigil won't sleep.

In the cockpit of a Black Hawk, I pledge anew,

To the family I cherish, to skies so blue.

The adventure, the thrill, the lives I've saved,

For you, I fight on, in the skies, unswayed.
