Our noble child young man of twenty two dressed in sandy khaki with a job to do Standing tall with pride stepping up to the test becoming a hero America’s best Our noble child young man of twenty two placard praying with a mission to do Standing tall with conviction stepping up to the test becoming a hero America’s best My noble child soldier at war my noble child protesting the war My noble child true to his heart living in strife worlds apart Our noble children learning love’s way each in their own voice hold patriot’s sway Judge not my noble child for when this conflict ends we again will be united in this family of friends. |

I've been watching TV. It seems that tensions are running high between the two groups - those opposed to the war and those who support our troups. I would like to think both factions are noble in their beliefs and doing what they feel in their heart is right. I would hope that when this is all over, there would be no hard feelings....I do not have a child in either group but oddly, my daughter is the one who would go to war if she could and my son is the pacifist who would be doing the protests.  |

"stepping up to the test, becoming a hero" This poem is so fair and well written, reflecting love and respect for both sides. I wish I had the love in my heart for both sides that this poem reflects, but I do not, for more than one reason. May they be ~Heros~ when/if they make it home.....I thank each and every one laying down their lives for me. Hugs, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

My "halo's" off to you for this one! Simply superb and emotionally stirring. This is a VERY special--and classic!--piece of writing! It should be read across the world in newspapers, magazines...----poetry books! Peace & Light, Earth Angel |
