 Gone Too Soon - (Writing & Memorial Day SALUTE!)
Back to Full Blog  

“Gone Too Soon”
(The Casualties Of War)

Earthly trip - Sun and moon
Killed in war - Gone too soon
Fought brave fights - Distant lands
Left us with - Praying hands

Loved ones must - Onward go
Dad or Mom - Kids won’t know
For they rest - Beneath ground
Laughs and Hugs - Never found

Hearts broken - Tears rain down
Smiles once there - Only frown
Wedding bliss - Special day
No parent - ‘’Give away’’

Even worse - Greater strife
Wounded souls - Maimed for life
Try to fix - Broken parts
Body limbs - Minds and hearts

Some won’t know - Who they are
Mirror look - Won’t see scar
Will just know - What they see
Not the who - Used to be

Add to this - Innocent
Folks close by - Life’s blood spent
Gone too soon - Shooting stars
Casualties - Of all wars

ALL: May EACH of you have a wonderful, upcoming Memorial Day Holiday.

May EACH of you also remember and take the time, in your own ways, to pay RESPECTS to ALL who have worn the UNIFORM of America throughout it's history.

In ALL conflicts and wars, no matter WHO sent them at any given time.

From THIS old, APPRECIATIVE geezer, "THANK YOU and SALUTE!" to ALL who have served We, The People, and WILL do such in the future.

My BEST to you and your loved ones,

TallPockets.

A sad poem,
God Bless them all
For those still standing,
and for those that took the fall!
