[hometext] => This is a Veteran's Day poem.
Thank you, just doesn't seem adequate. [bodytext] => Shh, the silence of sorrow is all around As we walk this hallowed ground Each step through time we can’t get back How do we measure what we lack? The stones lie in rows of white Lives lost in a noble fight Sons and daughter that they are Sent to fight in wars afar Survivors lost in memories They have lived our history Buried deep within the soul Fragments of a life once whole Reflections in the mirror last Glimpses of a dark and frightful past A moment, a year, a decade, a life Blood, sweat, tears and strife As time goes by, let us not forget The many lives we’ve never met Each soul to freedom has surrendered A story so often gone unheard They fight the fights, not pick the battles In their memories the gun still rattles Nights with combat and casualties For them the wars never cease More than words can express, or money could buy For in every fight a part of them died Not quite adequate, not quite enough Thank you, for being so tough Thank you for fighting the fight Thank you for standing up for what is right Thank you for defending the defenseless Thank you for protection in times of distress Thank you for bravery unheard Thank you for freedom reassured Thank you for doing what you do Thank you for being you [comments] => 2 [counter] => 295 [topic] => 28 [informant] => LJ [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Patriotic )

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. ©
