Soldier's story

Soldier's story
is often told. Air, land, sea
soldier fights, true and bold. Soldier stands 
with saluted hand, many serve in foreign lands. 
Marching orders followed fully. Obedience given 
often wholly.Weapons drawn in the fight. Echoed 
gunfire fills the night. Soldier serves his country duly. 
Uniform fitted, worn truly. Soldier's pride, 
service faithful. Soldier's country, humbly grateful.
Soldier's tomb revered as holy.
This is part of
Soldier's story.

Blood shed under fire, coolly. Soldier's life honored, greatly. 
Sacrificial lives recalled. Tales of tactics, hero's call.
Lexington, Gettysburg, Iwo Jima, Remagen, 
Hue City, Baghdad, and Kabul. Soldiers serve 
unceasing against enemy rule. Epic battles
lost and won. Engagements fought
under moon and sun.
Fought with blood,
fateful glory.
This is part of 
Soldier's story.

and love

and love and love happens like lightning striking in a moment, in a day, in a glance. and love changes like dawn breaks, imperceptibly from dark to light. and love surrounds like morning mist, rising from nowhere until it envelopes. and love grows from pain to hunger gnawing from the belly and the mind. and love is desperate like addiction overriding every other appetite. and love creates a world like a dream where days are lived in slow motion. and love empowers like confident faith emboldening to overcome obstacles. and love lasts like the ocean waves' ebbs and flows, forever. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image:  By elayne001 via pixabay
