Thank You

Thank you to our soldiers:

For standing in the line of fire
You are the best example of what this country can acquire
I know that being away from your family isn’t easy
Thinking about your sacrifice always makes me feel queasy
The battle that you are currently fighting in
Makes living day to day feel like such a win
Without you, our eagle would not soar
So thank you very much for fighting this war

Hi Cheyenne, this is such a deep powerful tribute dedicated to our soldiers. Thank you for penning this very inspirational write. My elder son is serving in the Army so this is extra special to me. Well done. I wish you a warm welcome to PoetrySoup and happy writings. Pandita
