Be grateful for the ones who died for you.

 They are out there

Risking there lives so we

can have what we do.

the freedome the food

the life.

 

Take a look at your life

when you are in you safe

warm home no worries

of anything.

 

And think of the ones

who died so you can have

your fansy i pods and

cellphones  and the

freedome to do what you

like.

 

Remember them who are risking

there lifes each day to save yours.

 

Tell me once that you have said thanks

you to them.

 

Tell me you have gave your support

for the families who lost there

fathers, husbants,brothers, cusins.

 

When you say you know what they are going through....

well you know nothing unless you have

someone over there now who have

witnessed there buddys dieing right

in front of them.

 

You know nothing unless you..

Witness your father or husbant leaving

as one person and comming back

to diffrent then when he left.

 

Tell me one thing...

 

just answer this for me..

 

Do you really know how it fealls

to know eachday cold be the day you will never see

your loved one again.

 

When you answer that then you will know.

I like the passion and sincerity of your poem, and it's very honorable to use your art to recognize sacrifice. Keep writing, but watch your spelling.

This is really great. I'm sure your father would be proud of you. Keep up the good work :]

[Undying Glory]

wow this was really strong work, and your message is just so true, we really do tend to forget all their contributions. of course i would never know how it would really feel like, but what you wrote really reminded me of several books on world war 2 that i had read, as well as the battle of Stalingrad. great job

this is amazing, i think your dad would be really proud of you as a writer and as a daughter. :)

What a touching write! I really liked the message that this poem carried, and I thought that you delivered it in such a personal and moving way. I really liked all of the questions that you posed to the reader, as I think that it's really important to challenge the thoughts of the reader in writing. There were a lot of errors in terms of grammar and spelling that I would go back and check if I were you, but other than that, this was a really great write. Very thought-provoking. Nice work,
