Heroic Loyalty

Along the many battle lines, lie bodies scattered so For war had raged, taking men, and boys that had to go As officers and leaders stayed behind, to make for them a choice The men who loyally followed them, all screamed with bloody voice “Through the mud, dodging the fire, explosions now surround We fight for you oh country, through loyalty we’re bound We’ll never pull any punches; we’ll fight with all our might Rest assured, for you, dear country, we will die or live to fight” But, to the very many, that suffer injury and pain Those that come back to us, some will never walk again The loyalty they demonstrated, through battle on the field Is the very type of loyalty we Americans should wield Too many of our fighting men, suffer gravely, suffering loss They truly are our heroes, they’ve paid their vital cost So we shouldn’t turn upon them or away from them this day We owe them more, so very much and we should now repay
