pride of the nationA Poem by quinfinnfor our troops..who inspire pride and respect full measure
they are our fathers, our friends, our sons
our husbands, brothers and cherished ones our mothers, our daughters, sisters and wives all over the world they risk their lives we kiss and embrace them, we take their hands then send them to fight in foreign lands and every place our flag is unfurled they risk it all to protect our world don't question their courage or their reason for their honor endures, no matter the season it's love of country, freedom, ideals and evil knows not how this feels to guarantee our way of life they live with danger, enduring strife they'd prefer peace but won't run from a fight because they know their cause is right some are still children not fully prepared so little of life have they truly shared still, they are fierce warriors proud and strong in our grateful hearts they can do no wrong others, seasoned veterans who've been before who would never refuse to fight some more no matter how big, no matter how small for their sacrifices, we love them all defending our homes, defending democracy protecting our country from evil's hypocrisy not fighting for hatred, not wanting to kill but longing for peace and a world of good will wherever terror comes calling to dwell their mission is sending the beast back to hell when the serpent of tyranny fills us with dread the only solution is to cut off its head until the fight's over, our warriors remain never relenting until all the evil is slain we'll bring them back home when the battle is won with honor from a grateful nation "well done!" © 2011 quinfinnReviews
