To The Heroes Through the news I heard you’d passed away; as if by God’s hand the skies turned gray. Now memories are mine, they come to stay because you, my hero, have no more to say. I know you’d rather the hero’s mantle not wear but I’ve placed it o’er your shoulders with care for when decisions were needed, you’d not spare a moment’s breath, you would rise to ensnare the villain that came with threats to impart. and seeing evil in the villain’s cold, cruel heart, because you were trained well and so complete the villains left quickly their pilot’s seat. A suit of armor was your green and tan cloth hearing orders to all men, take the villain at “no cost”; whether your life hung upon the thin balanced brim was not in your mind, your only thought was to rid him. Today is too, too quiet, the ground cold and still a hero today buried, it was government’s will that the fight be fought over lands thus caught between the arguments of men, that goverment wrought. ©KRJ 7 September, 1999 ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Every poem you write is about something original; it's like Forrest Gump said: 'You never know what you're going to get'! I like this one muchly, Sunshine. |
