Array ( [sid] => 129403 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Lone Slodier [time] => 2006-12-14 09:11:12 [hometext] => The Tradition and Courage of the ANZAC and of all Australians who fight for what is right and for freedom of choice will live forever. [bodytext] => Distinct but sad he led the march
Proudly he did walk
No sign emotion did touch
Duty he did not baulk

This the story of his time
He grew from his fathers’ rhyme
A vision all but lost
And now we survey the cost

Scattered thoughts until I see
The lone soldier comes near to me
The pride that shone from his eyes
The truth of it all with no lies

Aye the mark this left on me
Gave me what I ought to be
Now in my life his march I recall
For my stick to heed my fall.

I felt this one. Usually I can't really get into poetry that has anything to do with war symbolism but this poem was written just right somehow for me to be able to find myself able to be into it. It had an interesting theme and I truely enjoy the prideful soldier portrayed.
