Danetta Barney Poet Rhyme Royal

Hero

This poem was written for a friend whose nephew served in Iraq and Afghanistan and now suffers with severe PTSD.

Here's to this warrior.
Cheers to this warrior hero. 
Here’s to this warrior.
Cheers to this warrior - we know

beneath eagles wings
special forces soar
below, dusty battle grounds
dirty scenes of war.

Honor forever engraved
an inscription none can steal
unbroken bond for life
guarded, locked and sealed .

Home between two pillars
far from distant fields
humbly submissive
a thankful heart yet yields.

Never to be forgotten
wounded hearts and minds
forever strong arm-in-arm
the best of humankind.

So, here 
is this warrior,

cheers to this warrior -

Hero.
