[hometext] => Just a memory, a thought or two, wishing the best for our troops in Iraq!!!
[bodytext] => It was 27 December 1990 I was flying high in the sky Combat ready And didn’t know all the reasons why Flying on a C-141 From Germany to another foreign land A country that offered nothing Only miles and miles of stone and sand A soldier I was All packed and ready to go Ammunition loaded Adrenalin flowing from head to toe The plane had landed The moment finally had come This is truly a time Not meant for some The door had opened It was time to unload the plane At that moment I really thought I was insane Five meter intervals We moved from the plane to the sand Every step of the way I held my weapon tightly in my hand Laying in the prone Pitch black was the night Looking through my nods To find enemy in sight Hours later The sun started to rise Still no enemy in sight Just our army guys I am very fortunate Our mission went so well For the story of others They do not wish to tell I was only in that country For a five-month stay Having driven into Iraq Fighting Iraq soldiers along the way We passed by Kuwait Where the Marines had re-taken all control For our unit The General had another role We were ready to dismount and fight the owners of the land at any given moment and any signal of their hand We tried to protect the innocent The woman and the kids We didn’t want to kill anyone And have that memory behind our lids There was in-coming artillery Planted minefields to go through I love my country and chose to do this Wouldn’t you? I am proud to have been a soldier And carry my pride in every way I was very lucky to come home And live my life away Now I watch the news It’s all about the 2nd Iraqi war Once again I wish It was me unloading out that airplane door My brothers I stand with you In honor of what you do Stand tall and keep your courage Soon this will all be through Just know God is with you Every step of the way May he bring you home To live your life away To the families of the soldiers that laid their lives to rest Please just know they did their very best This war is a cause In which everyone will agree Somehow it is To maintain freedom for you and me We cannot have freedom With terrorist roaming all about Strapping bombs to their bodies And feeding people doubt War is not pleasant Neither is a terrorist threat We will make sure they go away Now that you can bet The life of a soldier a hard task to perform I wrote this in remembrance Of Operation Desert Storm Another war another mission Combat ready you are To all of us Americans You are a shining star. God Speed Troops!

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. ©
