Resolute

Unaware the battle has been won,
      His every ounce of blood now gone
A fallen soldier lay upon the battlefield
      His might and power not to yield
Faithful, genuine, simple and pure;
      His honor required that he endure.
For those he fought, he did not hate
      His now to endures that tempted fate
Must he be deemed unduly and rebuked.
        His patriotism, honor and death resolute

Such a sad write, Johnny. A beautiful tribute as well. Nicely done
