Memorial Day is coming soon, those that know me, know my passion for patriotism, for my fellow service men and women - from all generations. I discovered this poem a few years back and have chosen to post it here as a first remembrance. The author is unknown, however with words so well selected I'd like to think he or she was a fellow veteran. Enuf said...
Fallen Soldier All Alone
Fallen soldier far from home.
Trickling down his face a tear,
forgetting how it feels to fear
death and all its fate and glory.
Now it’s here, no need to worry.
Fallen soldier waiting for the end
Fallen soldier far from home
He’s one of those they’ll all forget;
but he’s the one thing you should never forget.
The life he lived, the goals he set,
the ones he loved, the ones who wait
to see his nearly forgotten face.
Fallen soldier all alone
Fallen soldier far from home
Now breathing’s just a waste of breath
and living’s just a waste of death
as he searches for a new address;
a brand new home free of loneliness.
Fallen soldier all alone
Fallen soldier far from home
Lying motionless on the ground,
the battle raging all around.
For now he is not all alone.
This fallen soldier is welcomed home.
