A Salute To Soldiers Poem by Patricia Grantham
A Salute To Soldiers
Marching on to battle in the land and home of the free
Far away from family and the love ones they long to see
Yearning to be with the ones at a place they love at best
Braving the harsh weather just to pass freedoms test
The seeds of war and unrest had already been sown
Fighting the battles with dangers unaware and unknown
Crouching at attention in a ditch so deep and narrow
Wading through waters so high and sometimes very shallow
Secretly stalking the enemy under the dark cover of night
Forever on the watch with all their strength and might
Treading ever so cautiously over booby trapped mines
Careful not to cross over to the side of the enemy lines
Waiting for the time when the battles will begin to cease
All Hail! to the brave soldiers fighting to keep the peace
The high cost for freedom can never be paid at the most
Many had lost their lives and others stayed on their post

we are the soldiers who fought for liberty, and we'll continue this fight to keep our country free.
Just to pass freedom's test They sacrifice a lot. Hats off to them. Nice poem for a nice cause.
A creditable tribute to our Soldiers whom I also have a great respect for their sacrificial service! !
Oh how we ever so thankful for the soldiers at war and so many have given their life to fight the despots of this world...I remember the bombs coming down in our UK town in 1944 as a kid from the biggest despot of all..Adolph..thanks and regards
Many had lost their lives and others stayed on their post.. lovely lne...10 We see the tremendous change The narrows appears on stage The country is forgotten The region is placed before even Let countrymen decide Why our blood should be way laid? Why not you take decisive steps? That shall grant keeps us on top!
A true picture of the horrors of war we owe them for our freedom great write well done
