Our Brave And Patriotic Soldiers. Poem by Michael Gale

Thank You, One and All....
For answering that fateful
and loyal call.

Thank You One and All...
Even when and after You fall.

From morning taps with the raising of the flag...
Your bravery shall never sway, and sag.


You have and shall inspire all of Us
with Your unwavering and loyal pride...
As You mount upon that war battle-ling ride.

Off and into battle You all, bravely go....
To serve with an honorable mentioning
to and fro'.

Many places of this world...
Patriotic as Old Glory, never
intending to yield, always unfurled.

Stiffest into the face of odds yet
unplaced as hurled...
You are the unsung heroes
of this world.

Verily the march goes on...
Until finally at last, this war
that You've all, have
experienced, as won.

You've at last, have won...
Every daughter, or brother
or sister or Son.

Every Father and Grandfather
with more tales lo' let spun....
War is like Hell, and minus all fun.

To those that have departed and those
that survive...
Those that are lucky to still be alive.

We give You thanks and God given grace...
In all Our hearts will You shine in God's
own glory loved place.

Thank You...
Thank You.

No reward will be
enough, in all full, gratitude...
Immeasurably in heightened
full, magnitude.
