Fallen But Not Forgotten |

Fallen But Not Forgotten Standing in silence amongst the graves Hanging at half~staff Old Glory waves The gun salutes slice through the mid~day As those who've gathered bow heads to pray The bugle sounds a sad somber tune For the lives of Soldiers lost to soon Men and women who answered the call Serving their country giving their all Flags stand proud in the red, white and blue Honoring our Heroes brave and true Courageous souls willing to defend Fighting for this nation until the end Loved ones and comrades stand side by side Faces reflecting the tears they've cried Heartwrenching pain hovers in the air As they bond as one their grief to share Memories of a happier day Before these lives were taken away Even in mourning solace is found For these loved Soldiers are Heaven~bound... © Poet In Pink |

Alana...Very lovely poem. Enjoyed...Paul Thru death and blame we must overcome heartache and pain Thru all we've been thru We must protect the Red White and Blue Thru separation and turmoil Wem must defend America's soil ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
