Casualties of War

The stench of moth balls
arose from the chest,
containing war time relics,
and full military dress.
His dog tags were tucked
safely away in a box.
I found the medal of honor,
and his olive drab socks...
pictures, and letters
to my dear Ma Maw,
and the American flag
that buried my Paw.
War time treasures
both bitter and sweet.
The war took his life
before we could meet.
Some tears were shed
when I opened that chest
I’ve now seen my paw
at his heroic best..
He died for liberty,
so we could be free
Yes, he was a hero
if only to me...

| What a beautiful poem..really sad but to know how brave he was . I think your so lucky to have those treasures of him to reflect upon and draw strength from when times get tough. I think he would be honored knowing how you felt..when it comes right down to it..its the family and friends that count. You have such a wonderful gift and I just love to read your poetry..everyone I have read pulls at the senses. Hugggsss |

you beautifully gave us a thought
of a hero and how much he missed.
I'm happy you're proud
with your hope chest of paw.
