In honor of Veteran's Day & all of our Armed Forces, I'm posting 2 poems today that I have posted before - but it's been awhile & no one reads this anyway...

God Bless The Soldiers
God please bless the soldiers
So they don't feel alone
So far away from those they love
And the peace and comfort of home.
While their nation groans in protest
They struggle to survive
Sacrificing everything
To keep our freedom alive.
God please bless the soldiers
Daily in harm's way
Surround them with Your angels
Until they're home to stay.

Soldier
Today I heard about a soldier
Who fought his final war
While many seem to have forgotten
What he was fighting for.
He fought so we would have the right
To choose the lives we lead
The soldier's courage gave us the chance
To prosper and succeed.
Yet here at home we squander
The lives he fought to save
We teach intolerance to our children
And take whatever we crave.
We're slaves to our addictions
And controlled by our own greed
Selfishly forgetting
That freedom isn't free.
Today I heard about a soldier
Who fought his final war
While many seem to have forgotten
Who he was fighting for.
