[hometext] => I raise this glass and offer a toast...The Phantom
[bodytext] => In the words of a sinner, fore i have strayed, took my own path and lost my way, I have done some horrible things in the name of freedom, watched my brothers and sisters enter God's Kingdom, Taken lives that didn't belong to me, I have prayed for closure but the memories will forever haunt me, Flashbacks of blood soaked sand and holding a dieing man's hand, I seek forgiveness, but feel there is none to find, bow my head and pray, will the Lord give me a sign, What I've seen, what I've done, left only with memories, I guess I am one of the lucky ones, Embedded scars, hidden to the eye, reliving the nightmare, cover my face and cry, A mindless zombie from time to time, I just zone out and try and escape my own mind, A life of service with the scars to prove it, ready to give my life at a moments notice, I served my country when others wouldn't, I fought for freedom when others couldn't, I stood the ground when others fell, to tell the truth, I've been through hell, But given the choice, I'd do it again, the Army made me the man I am, August 1st 2015, I will retire for the United States Army, 20 Years of my life, the emotions I feel are as sharp as a knife, Leaving the Force is the scariest thing I'll ever do, it's all I've known and that's the truth, I raise this glass and offer a toast... " To all the men and women that have served by my side, the ones that are alive, and the ones who paid the ultimate price. I salute you, love you and will forever be connected to you. Until I leave this world you will always be with me, and I will always remember, Freedom isn't free." Forever Faithful Matthew G.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
