pride of the nation

pride of the nation

A Poem by quinfinn
"

for 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!"

I Love this patriotic poem very much, it`s rarely to read something so strong and idealistic, which makes you feel the sense of life and proud of your nation! I like this feeling.
