Unknown Soldier

The call of assembly long overdue named the forgotten from ages thru From countless wars of eras ascended pain still fresh, wounds never mended The screams before the darkness took Their lives blackened without another look Scattered bones in foreign lands dug up diligently by God's own hands Heaven's roster penned the missing and lost Those who fought valiant with a cost Now fierce warriors all stood by as summoned spirits filled the sky Hobnailed sandals, barefooted, steel toe boot marched in unison without dispute Foes in combat never friends united at the battle end. Angels kissed the blood-stained brow awarded each their sacrifice vow Hasta pura the Romans’ spear held high A golden Katana bestowed the fearless Samurai The “Sword of the Sea” the Chinese swayed while a Viking warrior sailed away An Apache fighter reclaimed his land the ancient Maori received his brand The Medal of Honor secured its place on innocent faces who left no trace Fought to the end with unheard cries Fought to the death by infinite lies Rest well Soldier, you nameless soul your seeds finally planted in fields of gold Fallen heroes with deeds overlooked Final reward in life’s eternal book.
