This poem is written ... Farewell to the Soldier<br /><br /> <br /><br />This poem is written in acknowledgement to all those unsung troopers who struggle to make headway in a hard world. They often suffer through grave misunderstandings of their condition and the battles they have to fight. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Farewell to the Soldier<br /><br /> <br /><br />Farewell to the soldier<br /><br />In that solitary field <br /><br />No flag to wave<br /><br />One last blunt axe to wield <br /><br /> <br /><br />The noise of ragged battles<br /><br />Scream like ghosts in his head<br /><br />No sign of relief or final salute<br /><br />Drifting slowly away internally bled<br /><br /> <br /><br />No last post in the field of cold night<br /><br />A feint slow drum a silent hollow beat<br /><br />Too tired to dream of victorious salute<br /><br />Just one last wish a warm sleep sweet Cliff Lettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824271347133632569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159777151156423826.post-89183940485166052442013-06-15T09:48:16.738-07:002013-06-15T09:48:16.738-07:00Thank you Joy.
