For Veteran day- A soldier’s prayer
The Lover, A Soldier prayer.
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
Soldier goes off to War. Need kind and sweet memories to keep them human.
The Lover (A soldier prayer)
Poor boys and men.
Roads lead to War.
Young woman with a sweet smile.
Silk dress.
Smelling like sweet flowers.
Whisper, “let’s dance tonight.
You shall go to War.”
“Tonight we need to create photos for the heart.”
“Memories to keep you warm when you are lonely and afraid.”
Young man brings the sweet Angel close.
Whisper kind words of love and thankfulness.
Soldier stand alone.
Cleans his M-16.
Death is all around him.
He closes his eyes.
He remembered.
The smell of flowers.
The feel of the silk dress.
The sweet smile of his love.
Keeps him human.

No one had served the country better than our greatest Veterans! They sacrificed their lives for the sake of many and for the freedom of our country. With great gratitude, we salute you for the honor and freedom you brought to this country!

Very touching poem, John.
Coming from a former military girlfriend myself, it’s definitely not an easy life. Huge thank you to all our servicemen/women past, present and future. Wishing you a well Veteran’s Day 🙂 V x

You’re very welcome 🙂 Yes unfortunately it’s always come a cost. Hopefully there’ll come a time when that won’t be the case. V x

Yes, you are right. New tools of death. Nuclear, bio and chemical. I was a N.B.C NCO in the Army. I pray we learn comment sense.
