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...

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~~
