Rico's Poem
Martin Guiterrez
You're so close yet so far away.
Though I see you every day.
There is so much I want to tell you.
Since we left earth, so green and blue.
Dizzy and Carl say I'm out of my mind.
But love is a hard thing to find.
I've tried to get your attention since we first met.
Diz says it's something I'll sorely forget.
Diz may say I've got nothing in my head.
For you I spilled my blood red.
Should I return, or should I stay.
You're so close, yet so far away.
-Pvt. Johnnie Rico
