Best Warblue Poems
Row on Row we faced teh dawn of a bright and cloudless sky
The command was given-our fate was set-we did not question why
We moved through fields of new grown corn-our banners furled with pride
Cannons roared-the muskets fired-we were doomed with no place to hide
We had followed Bobby Lee for two long years-and tried to serve him well
But on this charge toward the boys in blue he had sent us all into Hell
Row on Row the mothers cry-the fathers work the land
No young men to tend the fields-to give a helping hand
Row on Row the markers stand-to show the world out fate
A grim reminder of the folly of war-and the killing power of hate
Both blue and grey lined toe to toe-a generation of brave young men
A country will mourn for years to come the price they paid for our sin
Life goes on and with the pain-new fields prepared to sow
History will judge the awful truth-of the graves lined Row on Row

My hope is blowing in the wind
The sting of battle is beginning to sink in
I pray into the emptiness of a clear blue sky
The sounds of Reveille and Retreat enters my mind
The Red White and Blue the Stars and Stripes
A final salute the quietness of the evening sky
Will be my last straw of hope until I die
