Though ships of wood have turned to steel,
And shirts of mail have turned to cotton
Rest your weary souls, my brothers.
For we have not forgotten.
Our enemies have become memories,
Our axes were torn away.
The forges have grown cold with time,
But one mettles' there to stay.
We were the fears of Romans,
The wolves who sought sheep to slaughter.
We've no need of an Independence Day,
For our hearts were never conquered.
We live on in ideas,
Forever shall our honor hold true.
Know that you cannot kill and idea.
But, one can certainly kill you.
Highly respectful poem with meaningful words....to be remembered for ever
Always follow the path of truth. Victory is sure. A strong message. Thanks for sharing.
