This is my very first poem. Did I get my thoughts across?

A DREAM COME TRUE

When I was a boy and looked to the sky

At an airplane that seemed like a toy

And flying, oh so high.

At that moment, I thought "I wish I could fly".

All the time as a teenager in school,

I continued to think "Flying is so cool".

And then our country became involved in a war,

While my dream remained as before.

Joining the military, with heart so true,

I learned how to fly, in a uniform of blue.

Being so young and somewhat crazy,

Some of the missions are a little hazy.

Then came a truce, an end to hostilities,

That gave me new responsibilities.

Today, I still fly in a uniform of blue,

Whenever I go into the "Wild Blue".

Although the skies aren't wild anymore,

I thank God, as before,

For allowing me to fulfill my dream of flight,

Be it during the day or during the night.

Now, as I look to the sky

Thank you God, that " I can fly!"

    Well, as someone with a post-grad degree in English Lit, it is a very very good poem. Yes your thoughts do come out and it's well written. A- (It deserves an A+ but if I start students off at the top, they have nothing to aim for). A++, I read the poem below and realized that his stunk and yours was really good. Remember, Illegitimus Non Carborundum. (Don't let bastards wear you down).

    you dreamed you could fly

    and to do it you're happy to blow

    people up from the sky

    you may thank God

    For what you can do

    But I'm pretty sure that

    the innocent little boy

    who lost his innocent daddy

    when you attacked from above

    is not so happy with what

    you have done with God's gift

    so let me warn you

    what may be coming down the line

    for you: as you live

    so you shall die

    how do you like my poem?
