Soon We Will Sail Away

Soon we'll sail among the heavens
And soar above the clouds.
But first, we must stay here in the war-zone
And listen as the bugle sounds..
As your heart pounds.
Pounding to the beat of the drum.
So consistent, tis almost a comforting hum.
For if the little drummer boy is to fall,
Defeat is surely soon to call.

  Oh but soon we will sail away.
Soon we may see a better day.
So don't give up yet young soldier,
This war is not long till over.
Keep trudging through your trenches.
Keep on marching through the rain.
Don't give in to the pain.

  Though you take every blow to your pride
With a smile on your face,
It's ok to cry, you don't have to hide
The hurt and the fear
Of things so far, yet still so near.
Oh but in time e'rything will be alright.
One day soon you won't have to fight..

This poem shows the depth of the
writer as nothing else can.
The poem is sentimental without
being tearful. It is thick with good
feeling toward all mankind.
I love the poem because it shares a
kindred spirit, a generous attitude toward
our service men and our country.

Great writing.
Love it .

War is funny. I stood with a division of Soldiers waiting to go to battle. Soldiers try not to worry. I believe when you are deep in s**t. You get use to it. Soldier have the desire of home. The military give them skill to fight and survive. Sometime peace is hard to find. Death could be peace. I stood on holy ground of war. Where 50,000 die for a few acres of land. I don't believe these men found a real peace. Thank you for the strong poem. Need to seek peace. War leave sadness for all involved. A excellent poem.

The message is to never give up hope. Once we give up, there's no need to live anymore. Such a motivational piece.
