Stand At Ease

Stand at ease soldier, rest your weary soul, You've served your country, you've walked your last patrol. Stand at ease soldier, rest your tired paws, You've saved so many lives, you've travelled lands, torn with wars. Stand at ease soldier, rest and ease your mind, You've served with honour and pride, you've protected your mankind. Stand at ease soldier, rest your senses for a while, You've shown you were a warrior, you've always gone that extra mile. Stand at ease soldier, rest, it's your time to just be you, You've been and done all you can, you've been there to see us through. Stand at ease soldier, you're no longer part of this charade, We'll salute you and say farewell, on this, your last parade.

Hello there stranger. I hope you're keeping well. Thank you for your lovely comments once again. I Love this one, I cried while writing it. I'm still writing when I can and when the inspiration hits. I've seen such beauty recently while on holiday in Canada. I'm making my way through my thoughts. Stay safe and Best Wishes :)
