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

A ton of information in these lines. I wrote the lyrics to a song about servicemen. Kudos to you.

Thanks Linda, it is nice to know there are people like you who will comment and be honest. 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
