The Things They Carried Poem



The things they carried all had a meaning
Jimmy Cross, a strobe light, to help his men to safety
But also photos of his love Maria to keep him sane
Mitchell Sanders, a radio to keep them in communication
Rat Kiley, a canvas full of medical supplies to save lives
Henry Dobbins, an M-60 to stop anything in their path
But what they carried also varied
Different weapons for different missions
Mine detectors, Bibles, and night sight vitamins
Everything they carried had a reason
To stay alive, one way or another
