"The Price They Will Pay" No more of the sand the heat and the wind Our Soldiers are home Desert Storm's at an end They're homecomings were so special to see This time it is different the way it should be Airports were filled with so many there To show all our Soldiers just how much we care So yes, it's all over for us left behind But it's NEVER over in that Soldier's mind The death and destruction each one had to view It's sad all the damage and pain they go through I cannot imagine how each one must feel Just having to go through such an ordeal Disruption of life and loneliness too Still doing the job they're sent there to do A smile on their face is what you will see Courageous are them with this memory The mind can't forget what hearts must endure For things such as this there isn't a cure It's harder for some they served in "Nam" too How much can they take in War number two So brave is the Soldier that's hurting inside Emotions run deep because of their pride I'm sure there is someone you knew over there Remember them always in your special prayer They still fight a War that we'll never see These Soldiers stand taller for you and for me Please pray that we keep the peace every day So Soldiers don't suffer "The Price They Will Pay" © By: Freda H.

Thank You very much for the kind words. As a Veteran married to a Vietnam/Gulf War Veteran who is now sick, my words are for those who served so we can be free. Your description of "Speechless" sounds fine to me. God Bless! Tndeer1 |

...Saved faster than I can say, "Thank you!"  Not only are you brave of heart, but you are one fine poetess! I send blessings of healing love to both you and your husband and to all those who have given of themselves so selflessly for their country. Big, warm, welcoming hugs, EA |

Hi Everyone, Once again I humbly thank you for the warm encouraging words. Also messages given to my husband. He has finally gotten to a point in his life where he will except such things and even smiles when he hears it. Can anyone out there tell me if there is a line limit on the poetry posted here? Some of mine are quite long and I want to make sure I do it right. Thank You Again! Tndeer1 |

I just read your question regarding the length of poems. I do not believe there is a limit but perhaps one of the moderators will answer your question. I posted a poem that was around 400 lines so I assume you are safe up to at least that many! If this poem is an indication of how well you write, I personally would welcome one of your loooong poems! Ooops a daisy! It seems that I jumped the gun in saving your poem to my trove of poetic treasures. I just noticed in your bio that all your poems are copyrighted and that you would like to be asked for permission before copying. ~ May I keep this wonderful poem with my other favourites?  ~ and congratulations on your two books of poetry! Love & Light, EA |

EA Yes, of course you may keep a copy. Don't worry because I just recently updated my info there so you are safe. Thank you for the answered question and the congrats on my books. I make them myself and love it. If you notice the dates on these that I've posted, they are my earlier poems. As I grew in my writing, they seemed to get longer and in more detail. God Bless You All for making me feel so welcomed here. Tndeer1 |

Yes, Of course you can and while it's well past my bedtime, tomorrow I will be posting another you might like. It's appeared in several magazines and is hanging in the White House. Thank you for asking and being so kind. Also be sure to tell your friend I said "Welcome Home and a big Thank You" from one Veteran to another. God Bless! Tndeer1 |
