At his feet lie grass green turf At his head lies cold stone Beneath the ground his arms are crossed He won't be going home He fought dearly for our freedom Followed what his heart said Gave his all, tried his best But now our soldier lies dead With gun smoke in the air And cannons firing all around He shot his gun, loaded again Refused to give an inch of ground When he took a fatal bullet He kneeled upon the ground Looked up to see the stars and stripes Said, "I hope I've done you proud" To his family, we send our comfort And honor his memory None know the cost of freedom Nearly as much as he Thankyou unknown soldier For everything you've done You gave new meaning to our flag May God be with you, son.

Beautifully written. It makes me wonder if war is worth all the death it causes- and for what! so sad. |

Very touching. Your choice of words and rhythem worked well. Great work. "The usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness, for a cup that is full can hold no more." |

sometimes I get irritated at so many of our fellow americans who take this sacrifice so lightly. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

ummm... Pegasus, I wasn't trying to take it lightly. I've lost to many people to wars.. It was just a thought that stuck in my head and wouldn't leave until I wrote it down. I'm sorry if it offended you. BWA |

Angel. I think you misunderstood my comment. it wasn't intended for you. I think your piece more than does justice to our comrads in arms. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |
