Theresa Rodewald Poet I do not know?

Our Soldiers Our Heros

So few and far between are those who for others have consideration

Men who will sacrifice themselves for another without hesitation

Not for the praise or a reward, no desire for any kind of commendation

Choices made simply from the heart, they are in fact an inspiration

Our world could be such a beautiful place if more had their dedication

Truly divine individuals, humble and selfless without need for validation

You are champions to us all; I proclaim this with no reservation

These men known to us as US Soldiers, they bring our family’s great jubilation

For they live by a code of ethics of which their actions are the biggest indication

If not for their self-sacrifice the feeling would be great sadness rather than elation

For the loved ones of heroes lost, we express great sadness for your tribulation

Some face a long road to recovery these Hero’s body’s riddled with devastation

Their noble actions have brought from the masses nothing but admiration

Although they would tell you different, from their peers this is the collaboration

Thank you for being true to your hearts despite all temptation

You are truly respected for going beyond any expectation

There are no words that can begin to express the appreciation

You have given everyone the opportunity for great celebration

If we all could be half the man you are can you imagine the ramification

True Heroes now and forever to be part of your identification

I really dont like my poetry but others have said I should get it out there so I figured I would try. I have been writing for years but it just sits hidden away on my computer. Have a great day
