Farewell John McCain


Poem Artwork

 

For John McCain

 

 

Dear sir, thank you for your service

Thank you for your courage

In times where courage is absent

Thank you for your judgement

In times where judgement is lacking

Thank you for your real Patriotism

In times where Patriotism has been hijacked

I saw it last night

Your personal stairway to heaven

Rest in peace

At a time when heroism is confused with loyalty, heroes like John will remain in our thoughts long after flash in the pan tweets are forgotten.

I miss your humorous poetry. Hope that you will once again decide to honor us with some laughter.

Very well expressed. We are bereft of such heroes in America today.

He was a true American hero, served his country proudly, and his shoes will be hard to fill. John McCain will be missed.
