My Eyes Have Seen

My Eyes Have Seen
Rest In Peace; the past replays-

Soldiers fighting for a brand new Day!

Lives are lost; we are found;

Protecting what is Freedom’s ground.

Sweetheart, Dad with countless lives-

Thank you for your sacrifice!

Legos, electronics, fitted sheets;

Fast foods, salads, a variety of meats…

We take for granted so very much;

Warm beds, breathing…hey, keep in touch!

Warrior, Champion, Victor, Hero-

You might be tempted to say, “Oh No!”

Yet, as I see it from where I sit…

Those titles are a perfect fit!!

Salute

With memorial day coming up I wanted to share these poems :
The Colors Of Our Flag
Shots are heard from across the ocean;

Our world is a little safer tonight.

Someone will be resting too,

Because they saw through our eyes….
Sitting here writing these words,

As explosions rearrange geography;

I’m worried about what to wear tomorrow…

When others fight to keep us free.
How can I complain about this or that 

And demand to have things done my way?

Have I become a thankless enemy-

When so many heroes sacrifice each day?
Taps Across The Ocean 
Broken hearts and broken hopes 

in what seems a world away;

Blood baths don’t ever clean anyone-

Loved ones fight every day;
Men and women who volunteer,

Knowing they might not come back….

Giving all for our freedom here-

Their love doesn’t lack.
Moms, dads….all family and friends;

Even sons and daughters too-

Wear their uniforms for their country…

But are they the forgotten who?
Graves blanket this whole earth,

Holding memories never forgot;

Each one should be told of

Freedom which was sacrificially bought….
So that you and me may enjoy the sun,

Ride a bike, laugh with a friend-

Pray with me each every day……

That this war on life will end.

Eagle One
