A Nameless Soldier - Poem by Mikal Arnold

Do not pass me by this Remembrance Day,
Ponder for a moment before you drift away.
 
I fought my fight so others might live
And the world might learn to love and forgive.
 
So tarry awhile, but pray not for me
My eyes are dimmed I no longer see.
 
Stop here and pray for a world without dread
And peace for your children tucked up in bed.
 
Go quietly now friend and shed not a tear,

This nameless soldier now sleeps without fear.
