Brave-Hearts-Win

Armed infantrymen cross alien dust Braving perils posed in on the lands Courageous hearts, for the sake of freedom Defend our rights with preen and pain Enduring duty tours after duty tours Fight for the nation, never questioning Grateful we are to all those brave-hearts Humbly we thank what they deserve In deference to sere self-sacrifice Just cause resounds in their battle cries Kneel we ought to say a prayer for them Let love be conferred on them who are there Miles and miles they march thro’ stride and strife Never mind night or day, risking limb and life Offer our thanks on this blessed day Pray and bow down heads to God Quietly render words of respect and reverence Reveling in their daring deeds See how snowflakes sit on the window sill Twinkling stars dole out good grace Unequaled peers, each of them Venting emotions through cheers or tears Wish we ought to, for these martyrs Xenocrysts set and carved in stones Yet their memories will return Zeal echoes in each and every house. +++ August 18, 2014 Form Abecedarian First Place Win Contest: Abecedarian by Shadow
