Dedicated to my brother

 

Danny
 
As a little boy he was
taken by the hand,
his father said
you will be a soldier,
you will be a man.
 
Sent away
to a distant land,
he fought with courage
as a soldier, as a man,
to prove to his father
he can.
 
This once little boy
flew with the best,
shot and killed
with tears in his eyes,
until the day he too
would die.
 
Far away,
missing in action,
never to return and
hear his farther say ,
 
I missed you son,
I’m proud of you,
for the sacrifices you made,
as a soldier,
as a man,
I salute you.

Deborah, my heart is filled with sadness at the loss of your brother. Always remember him, the person he was, the sacrifice he made like so many before him. God bless you both...

Be always safe,
Karen

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
