To the War Veterans

Sirs, my hands are aloft in greetings I salute you My legs are together in attention I hail you My hat is off my head I revere you I thank you with the two greatest things I have: My heart and my soul Like the aggressor who lacked the edge to wear you down, I lack the words to say thank you. My heart and soul which you have touched so dearly Do so for me.
