50 Years-Korean War

Published by Poetry Explosion of PA In Loving Memory of my Dad, Peter J. Mariotti He left this world on May 9, 2011. I miss him so. 50 Years-Korean War Dad, you were one of the foot soldiers, When the Korean War began, You were among the many to fight In this foreign land, You went bravely into battle, Because our country told you to go, You didn’t ask any questions You just went to fight the foe, North Korea was Communist, South Korea was not, The country had been split After World War II, Now American boys were fighting On Korean soil, The South Koreans needed help from The Red, White and Blue Dad, you were a hero, You served our country well, Now after 50 years You finally were able to tell, The story of your war And the misery you saw, The Korean War had been forgotten But now at long last, It will be remembered, As an important part of our past. Love always Celine Rose Mariotti
