The Soundless Tears

You were truly brave to leave your parents behind.
There are family members that you have befuddled.
Leaving behind your near friends and family.
Your aspirations and life have stagnated endlessly. 

You sobbed when you observed your lovely spouse.
Your joyful tears embraced your dainty sprouts.
Your tears muttered farewell as you served.
Your tears fell as casualties around friends.
 
Humble experts are quietly waiting at night. 
He is utterly unconcerned around his exhaustion.
His exhausted body had not yet taken a rest bite.
He is unwavering and focused on his mission. 

You've now successfully installed in an overseas land.
To conflict for those whose liberty you withstand.
Their motive will be lost despite your contribution.
But they did their best, despite their obligation.

Soldiers fight all night to hinder us safe.
While most of us are at home and do not strafe
Some whine all day about the incredible fight.
A Soldier never ignores fighting with might. 

I am grateful that this soldier has sacrificed. 
The land was on his shoulder when he died. 
He was honest, selfless, brave, and daring.
As you alter older, please hold him to your thinking.

Praise for untold soldiers around the world who have fought for freedom of others without recognition or appreciation most times. I salute you for sharing their story in this fine entry. It should place well my friend. 7 1/2 years in the USAF taught me to respect anyone willing to fight for the freedom of others. Bill

Wars and conflicts have roiled our world for centuries. It is the soldier who gives his life to protect humanity. Your poem honors them and gives them voice, Lasaad.
