Soldiers Brave

Soldiers Brave

The battle calls,
our soldiers called
in the dark of night.
The tears are wept
and fade away
into the break of dawn.
So time has passed,
and more you see
there coming home again.
But in caskets
they will stay
their memory stays within us.
We may not know
of things they've seen
or pain so deep inside.
But we all know
how to keep them alive.
Forget me nots
and poppies lay
scattered among their tomb.
Forever known,
as soldiers brave
that found their way back home.

This is thought of today talking with an old friend. I keep seeing all there soldiers coming home from the war in caskets makes me really sad .. knowing something so horrible is going on n that theres nothing i can personally do to help stop it. So this poem is dedicated to those lost, fighting, and those brave ones to come in my lifetime and in many to come.

I know. When the soldiers from Iraq come back to there families, I see the family cry and I almost feel there pain. My cousin went to military and I was afraid that he might go into the Iraqi war, I couldn't sleep well. He came home tho' and is getting married!

Luv the poem. It's very touching.
