"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." - Plato


Bombs, raids, IED's
Shatter hearts and families
Memorial Day will be here soon
Clashing shots before early June
Flags upon flags are raised up high
While soldiers fight to live but die
Another year has blown away
the pieces like shards of glass today
Fallen soldiers are free at last
Watching their halos burn from their past
Honor, courage, bravery they sought
The large expanse of sand has fought
Burying its victims two inches deep
A heart of gold to forever keep
Trumpets sound while gunshots ring out
Removing a family's hopeful doubt
Their son is gone, a brother away
Cousin to many, "goodbye" they say
Guardian angels who stood by our side
Who, in which, we could confide
Summer has arrived to dry our tears
This year may there be some cheers
For those who have returned back home
Once again with us they roam

You've gotta take the good with the bad, smile when you're sad, love what you got and remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget, learn from your mistakes but never regret. People change and things go wrong but always remember life goes on

Oh my gosh! I love this! I can't believe this doesn't have more comments. It has a good flow and is very deep! Nice job, keep writing :)
