THEY SERVE TO PRESERVE They serve to preserve our forefathers dreams, Prayers, visions and determination. Risking all in pursuit of fulfillment of duty To God, freedom, faith, honor and nation. Despite dismemberment, death and loneliness Patriots enlist to safeguard our flag. With honor, faith, purpose and courage They battle the sadistic that brag. Throughout man’s past as a creature of earth War has always plagued his expectance. Greed, hate, fear, envy and rage Have overruled rapture and repentance. David was a soldier who lived by his faith Which gave him the will to become brave. He stood up to terror and toppled the giant Leaving Goliath headless and alone in his grave. David’s call thrives in hearts of soldiers today Shielding liberty from the warmongers of hell. Facing down evil refusing to summit Ensuring freedom and justice are alive and well. Those of us blessed by the safety of home Must remember the sacrifice of the few. Run up your flag and show your support For the heroes of the red, white and blue.

Hi Tom: "They Serve to Preserve" What a poem! It's like every line comes from the Divine. Tom, this poem gives me the urge to think more of righteousness. Continue with the good work. |

A lovely piece; all soldiers are owed the gratitude of their nation. --Joe Logic, when applied to people, fails miserably! --Joseph J. Breunig 3rd |

Thank you for your time and reply. FREEDOM In their new uniforms The young march off Not knowing who shall return. With a proud devotion They brandish their flag Leaving loved ones to wonder and yearn. May we all be buried By all of our children Is an ancient tribal prayer. They're so easy to lose But so hard to forget Such a burden for a parent to bear. Oh, the taste of victory Shall soon be forgotten But, never that which was lost. For those rows of white headstones In peaceful green fields Make it easy to tally the cost. America has survived all attempts to destroy Knowing the cruelty of war And, we who remain Must help keep her free For those who can march no more! By Tom Zart |
