Poem Artwork

It's not too late to bring our troops home they've been away for far too long.  Some have lost their families, leaving our soldier's behind with nothing more than a memory of a war that no none will win. 

It's not too late to save our families from the nightmare they're bringing back.  It's either going to make them or break them and I know in my heart it will break most of them leavng too many families torn apart

It's not too late for a father to come home to meet his new born baby that's now two.  This war is confusing our children, you know the newborn that now two, he or she won't even know who their father is or whether to call him Mr. or daddy
 
It's not too late to bring a mother home, but since the whole family decided to do the honorable thing, she'll be coming home to an empty house, and doing and feeling and being, I guess, like the rest
 
It's not too late for a soldier coming home to never have to suffer again for the mission they have served.  Tell me you're preparing for them because what I've seen and what I've heard does not equal out to what you're suppose to do
 
Don't leave them on the streets with sickness and homelessness.  Heal them with the doctor's you have staffed, and make sure a soldier's voice is heard because every night one of them will dream the war that will never end in their mind. It's a soldier's traveling nightmare that will travel with them until the end
 
Don't forget to do this, bring our troops home, it's never too late, only too late for the other's that the war couldn't save
 
Keep sending our troops over here and there, exaust them, and when you have no one to send who will protect us.  I wanna know because I'm thinking about his now?
 
And last but least, don't forget to pray daily because no one knows when their special loved one will take the front line or take their last ride

A serious human flaw - throughout history humans have fought wars - and never learned a single thing! Very well written Rosalyn.

Right on! They pay the ultimate price. We can NEVER repay them. So we should all treat them with reverance and respect. Meeting their needs is standard, exceeding their needs is acceptable. Going above and beyond to see that they get the best jobs and care when they get out is honorable. We should all be honorable or we shall perish as a nation. Amen!

All who have, are and will serve deserve nothing less than our eternal devotion for their selflessness. Godspeed all...

Be always safe,

It is so heart warming that today we do appreciate our troops with an acknowledgment of service no matter our opine on the war that looms in our past and future. And, only our level of information seems to determine our capacity to understand what is happening there.

Thank you for your sentiments in verse.

As the daughter/sister/niece/cousin of Veterans (all branches) as well as an Air Force Veteran, myself, thank you for remembering sacrifices made/paid by our military men and women, and their families: *salute* I join you in your prayer to never forget those who've given too much. They should lack for NOTHING.
