One more day…

One more day.

A Poem by Coyote Poetry

 Wars need to end. No-one win in war. 

Twenty one gun salute…

                        Loyalty
                        Duty
                        Respect
                        Selfless service
                        Honor
                        Integrity
                        Personal courage
                      (Soldier creed)

Standing tall and looking good,
ought to be in Hollywood.

Brotherhood of Soldiers.
Ain’t no race, color or religion.

Three old timers from WW2.
Shoot their rifles 7 times each.
I go to them and shake their hands.
Thank them for coming so far.
They give me a smile and tell me,
we must give our brother a proper goodbye.

I hold my Father’s two silver stars.
His most precious possessions,
he never spoke of the Korea .

When he was drunk on too much rum.
He talked to dead comrads at the kitchen table.
Left behind in the Korea dirt.

I’m proud to be part of the biggest Brotherhood.
We take care of our brothers and sisters.

Wars never ending.

Soldiers keep marching.
Head high.
Unafraid.
Proud to be Soldiers for the USA.

Freedom is very costly.
Many men and woman have paid with everything for us to be
free to chose our goals and dreams.

Pray for the Soldiers,
pray for their families,.
pray for the day when the soldiers
are home safe and sound.

No more war to be fought..

One more day.
We be through.
I be glad and so will you.
