The Sentinel

On the front line stands a man set to give last breath He walks in death’s dark shadow brave the sentinel a keen watchman fulfills solemn oath who watches out for him? ~*~

Having served my country, this poem hits home for me. For I have definitely walked in death's shadow. Not that an answer to the question is needed, but from my perspective, the sentries look out for each other, creating a bond that last a lifetime. Brothers. This is a great poem, I love it. Doug
