They Will Never Roam

In modern warfare conflicts We need to get there fast Giant transporter aeroplanes Take off in turbine blast Inside these metal birds That fly through natures skies Deliver our knights in armour To fight an enemy despised These deliverers of peace Will also take them home Some will walk the apron While others will never roam We will always remember them The way they left our shores Just like our heroic veterans All those years before To watch them march so slow Coffins held aloft Their carriage that awaits them Turns hard men to soft On their tear laden journey Our lost ones finally home For in all our hearts From there, they will never roam http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/war-4.php

I am actually watching a clip on nine eleven right now Mr. Fraser,.....the whole earth is in turmoil,...I'm ashamed of our conduct before our heavenly Father and long for the day we recognize how wrong it is to take matters into our own hands by acting as if we were God controling who lives and who dies ! Great poetry here Sir ! james
