Bob Quigley Poet Rhyme

Who Am I

Sons and daughters march away
Place themselves in dangers way
For me with their lives may pay
Who am I?

Danger kept from my front door
A sense of safety from the war
I'm the one they do it for
Who am I?

Freedom still remains my right
They address my nations plight
It's for me our soldiers fight
Who am I?

If I don't kneel down and pray
My Lord, protect them every day
If with my faith I don't repay
Who am I?

Debbie Guzzi January 31, 2012 at 2:05 PM yes who are we are human beings? what does that mean that we continually find a need or an excuse to kill each other, even the bible seems to see death in war as a necessary leveling factor it's very hard!
