Honor Poems - Poems about Honor

Weep Africa, weep on. The battle with death is one we dare not to fight, For the call from the great beyond is outside the scope of our existence. Just as our known hero Ngugi Wa Thiong'o has fallen, Like countless unknown heroes forgotten to time, We shall all follow this path of no return one by one. Fight Africa, fight...

Sorrow had passed his way many times, said the lines across his brow. His truth was challenged again and again, but to lies he refused to bow. Even in the face of death, his ground he firmly stood.

Duty calls from valleys deep and wide, Wide like hearts where brave resolve does bide. Bide the storms, through fire and endless rain, Rain of trials met with a calm refrain.

The air grows still, a nation's breath held deep, A Memorial Day promise, sacred to keep. For fallen soldiers, heroes of the past, Whose shadows linger, memories that last. In solemn hush, we bow our heads in thought, Of battles waged, and freedoms dearly fought. They gave their all, on fields of sweat and pain, A sacrifice...

They do not march now, but they still stand-- shoulder to shoulder in quiet granite lines. Each flag breathes like a memory fluttering in the hush between heartbeats. They are not just names, not just dates-- they are echoes of last letters, mud-heavy boots, songs sung beneath a foreign sky. We walk between them, heads bowed, and feel the weight of freedom we never had to earn. This silence is not...

I am a sifter So I can be objective Regarding the sincerity of my smile About why I laugh About whom I assign The key that renders my being whole I am a sifter So I can be intentional Regarding the weight of my words About when I speak About whom I honor With the deepest secrets of my soul I am a sifter So I can be...

From the sweat flowing down the laborer’s brow, the cuts and callouses etched into their hands, to the steely determination engrained on their furrowed faces, freedom was born and fed. As such they should be given the same respect and admiration, as any beloved parent is due. ...

My Father's Dream A wide and vast horizon beckons me to enter there where oceans echo ancestral voices and gulls paint images in the air. The Saxons and Angles, Hansas and Norse of Hamburg, Oslo, Kiel and Gdansk flows through my blood where the sea is my home. Father, do you miss never having lived your dream of sailing around...
