We were solders

Contributed by Shadow on Friday, 25th March 2005 @ 11:48:07 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



We were young and proud.
We were the glisten in the morning star
We were the luster of the old men’s beer
We were our mother’s pride
But most of all we were solders

Our swords outshone the stars of night
Our banners flew as the breeze
W marched to the land of myth
Where we bleed and boys fell

We grew to men in blood and mud
We saw our brother’s fall
We us few answered the call
We were young and proud
But most of all we were solders

We came home to their cheers
We drank and sang the loudest
But threw it all I say the most
We were all solders

We sit at home as time goes by
We see the sunset and remember
We touch our soil and hold it dear
But we never forget were solders

This was an absolutely amazing write. I can see this means a lot to you, as does the same memory to many brave men that have served. You had me choked up at the end. My husband, father, uncle, Father in law, and all grandfathers were military. And Iknow each holds their memoried dear. Thank you for sharing this.

We sit at home as time goes by ~ We see the sunset and remember ~ We touch our soil and hold it dear ~ But we never forget were soldiers. Amazing! You can't find words any better than that. Don't underestimate the readers, we see through your words and those words right through us. Thank you for sharing those great words.
