VETERANS ALL (after 9/11) Well! We're in a different world Than, what, we ever knew It will never, be the same As it was, for me and you. I think that since 9/11 Some words forever changed Like the meaning of "Veteran" Has been, re-arranged. Now, we all are fighters For our "freedoms' cause" If we don't stand, be counted We'll have lost, the cause, that was! On this Veterans' Day In this "land of the free" We honor those, who gave all Those with us, and those, yet to be. We honor those who perished In attacks upon our shore And those hunting evildoers Who came through our "open door". We honor all Americans And freedom lovers of the world Where flags like, "The Stars And Stripes" Fly in the breeze, unfurled. I think from this day forth All patriotic celebrations Will always give us pause To these new, realizations. We must rid this Earth Of those "Devils" and their goals With terror on their minds Within their hateful souls. So, here's to all the Veterans Who have made "Freedom Ring" And, those around the world Who know! We have a "special" thing. My e-book is available. Free for the asking.
