The Patriots CauseA Poem by Jeannie StevensTribute to those who fight and give their lives so that we can have freedom.
There are those who stand and kiss the names
Of their loved ones on the wall There are those who cry for their daughters And sons who have taken the fall And some still wait with hopeful thoughts Until that soldier returns And some still mourn for that loved one lost Whose image in their hearts still burns The wars have taken such drastic tolls On the lives of kindred and kin That faces still float on memories' sea And sadly we'll not see again But on that day when we walk to the gates To see heavens most wonderful prize We'll cry no more but lay hold of hope When we'll see them again with our eyes So know in your hearts all you Moms and Dads That they did not die in vain But they stood and fought for freedoms cause And the cause is worth all the pain © 2016 Jeannie Stevens |
