The Marines Poem by Shastina McElmurry

The Marines

Rating: 3.5


As they walk with guns in their hands.
For america they will always stand.
They tell there family not to cry.
But they think will i die.
There not a fraid at all.
Then a gun shot but they remain tall.
They promise there familys they will stay strong.
For in the marines your gone so long.
Then they return no cuts none.
They go up and hug their daughter or son.

This is really a nicely written poem witha lot of rhyme which I like. I gave it a seven which is a good number from me. I'm a very hard grader. I thought it was well worth reading. GW62

This is a very nice tribute to our fighting Marines. Tears are coming now, because so many have to needlessy give their lives so that the rest of us can be free. 'If the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven's scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by the United States Marines. (From the second verse of the Marines Hymn.) Thank you so much, for sharing, Shastina, and always... WRITE ON! ! ! ! ! Love & hugs, Barbara
