Soilders Going To War 2nd Version

Soldiers going to war 

Soldiers going to War, Marching in two by two,
We remember those who have fallen,
We remember their bravery,
We remember those left behind,
Their families with children who don't see them for months on end, 
Those remembered in conflict who have lost their lives for us,
We remember those on the front line who each day risk their lives for us,
Their loved ones, who hope that their husbands or wives will return,
Children missing parents, desperately wanting to see them!
Families dreading the terrible news loved ones have been killed in action,
The knock at the door,
To be told this, 
The devastation that their loved one, they will no longer see!
Families meet up after a long time, 
children run up to their mother or father,
Due to excitement,
That once more their  loved Ones are
home from war once again!
But they are not sure, when they could be called back to fight for their country once  again!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
