A Salute To Those Who Truly Bleed (And Have Bled) Red, White And Blue

No creative metaphors, just a heartfelt thank you to the U.S. Military for all the sacrifices they make.

Freedom is an ideal

That can only be realized

When we have citizens

That are willing to put

Their lives on the line

To protect it.

 

The least those of us

Who stand on the sidelines

Can do is honor those brave soldiers

By not letting the gift they

Fight for go to waste.

 

Let Freedom ring with respect

By giving a salute towards the blue sky

For those who gave the ultimate sacrifice

For the beliefs of the red, white and blue…

 

And give a sentimental shout out

To all the veterans

For their selfless service

To the cause we are free to believe in…

 

While saying a prayer

Of protection

To the men and women

That continue the proud tradition

Of protecting this great land.

"God bless the soldiers past present and future that make it possible to express myself freely like I did in this poem."
