Standing Tall Poem by nicholas casillas

brave and strong
o yes you were
i give you my heart
my body and soul
you have acheived,
acheieved your goal
your eyes telling such stories
o there were sad and cold
you were our savior
a soldier who kept us safe
but you were nailed on a board
o how so cruel
but they have failed in killing you
it is you who who allows us to stand today
we as people can be proud to say
your cause and struggle was so great
and that is why we stand today
