Soldier of Love

He was a warrior Brave and true An American soldier Of World War II Many battles he did see On the frontlines of Germany He fought with pride He fought with strength His friends of war He did defend He saved the lives Of soldiers and Jews Every life saved His intent was true His honor and glory on the Battlefield did shine His faithfulness to his country Will live for all time He was a proud soldier Strong and true A soldier who loved Both me and you For our freedom He did fight To make sure all of our Days would be bright To this soldier both Brave and strong To our Grandfather Who is now gone Your love and honor Will always live on Dedication To our grandfather Earl W. Smith. You are no longer with us but we will cherish your memories forever. We love you for the freedom you provided us and for the happiness you gave us while you were alive. ©May 26, 2004 Kimberly Fluitt

I am with you all the way on this one. May his soul rest in peace! I served my time too, and would do it all over again if I had to. Welcome to Poetry Soup and keep writing. Blessings, Joseph
