Kevin Clark Poet Rhyme

Thank You For Fighting For My Freedom

You fought over the smallest of sand
For my country in a foreign land
Advance all the time and never retreat
USA is number one and can never be beat
The military taught you how to survive
I hope you can make it home alive


When everything is all said and done
You fought with your life for my freedom
Thank you for fighting for me
Now I know freedom doesn’t come free
What you did for America makes me feel over come
Thank you for fighting for my freedom


Remember them for the blood the gave
To make America home of the brave
Army Navy Air force Marine
Toughest old boys you’ve ever seen
Hopefully they’ll get back to those crying mothers
They will be alright with they’re band of brothers


When everything is all said and done
You fought with your life for my freedom
Thank you for fighting for me
Now I know freedom doesn’t come free
What you did for America makes me feel over come
Thank you for fighting for my freedom

They sent them to the school of hard knox
Now they’re coming home in a pine box
Zipped up in a in a bag
They gave they’re family a flag and a dog tag
Remember them when you pray
Stand tall for them and remember them on Memorial Day

Gwendolen Song May 22, 2012 at 9:17 PM Kevin, Such a patriotic poem and so well written. You are a patriotic American and I hope this one will get some exposure this year during the 4th of July poetry season...I read PD's comments below and that note also floored me...wow! Even her brother died for our freedom! Thanks for writing this one, Kevin. Oh, BTW, I actually was searching to see if you could have written an acrostic poem for this site...okay...give one a try! Have a great one! :) Gwendolen Kevin Clark May 23, 2012 at 4:54 AM soup mail Kevin Clark May 23, 2012 at 4:38 AM Thanks Gwen for your comments. I'll give it a try. I think I have only written one acrostic poem.

Poet Destroyer A May 29, 2011 at 2:27 AM Clark, this is an honor to read your poem. Some times one can not be as brave as you or this poem... When my brother had to fight for America.. i did not know where to run.. I would crawl on my knees in hope he would have a safe return.. Sadly he gave and paid our freedom with his blood... and a dog tag and flag is what our family carries now... A blessing poem, thanks for sharing,.. Linda Kevin Clark May 29, 2011 at 6:46 PM Thanks Linda. Im going to post another one tomorrow morning.
