Female Soldiers
they are soldiers fighting a war
across the ocean,
but their hearts are at home
seeking love and devotion.
love from our country,
devotion from their family.
that is all that they need.
they joined the military to
fight for what they believe
to defend from foes, seen and unseen
in their hearts we are the greatest nation
from the farmlands to the greatest plantations.
it does not matter if they're black or white
they will never give up freedoms fight.
we have people here from every nation
fighting for americas salvation
women have been the backbone in every war
death they've seen by the score.
the plains indian women who fought
alongside their men
it became a common trend.
joan of arc- who lifted the seige
in only nine days
the greatest role a woman could portray.
the uniform does not necessarilly
make her a soldier, but her heart
and strength that make her bolder.
bold enough to cover your back
and pick up all the slack
she will always be there in command
and pick up the rifle from the sand
she will do whatever she must
for in her you put your trust.
she is the female soldier, she stood her ground
of that we should all be proud.
give credit where credit is due
this is what i say to you.

A beautiful tribute to female soldiers.
They deserve our applause. And so
do you for penning this insightful
poem.
Warm regards,
Sandra
Expressed our feelings in a terrific way. Each word and verse I enjoyed in this write. Crafting is beautiful.
a splendid tribute to female soldiers...since iam personally against war and even nation or patriotism..i really don't know what to say
I know a girl who wanted to go to war too sir.
I mean a friend..
Women have played major role when it comes to wars.. I mean whole of Troy Burnt because of Helen....
The modern world is still patriarchal...
Equal rights should be given to women.... And credit should be given where it; s due..
These days many people admire the men who go for war.
Very rarely we see female war heroines..
this is a good one..10+++

You give attention to the women of war. Nice tribute and a good step in acknowledging that females make up a large part of who is fighting. It is not easy for anyone. Good way to give the ladies 'voice'. DC
My mind goes back to a Cathy that they saved from a hospital a few years back. I just had to go out and get the book about her ordeal. Everyone, men and woman have their own ordeal they have to deal with, I'm so thankful I'm not one of them. This is one area where both sides will really know what it's like to walk in the others shoes. Good thoughts for a rough situation.
