Soldier in gloom watching flowers bloom
I grow flower til my eyes are sore
The tears fall like rain in a down pour
Red poppies in the flower bed
Reminder of the soldiers that are dead
Blue iris we have laid
Showing devotion with faith
Red and white roses on the lattice wall
For the men and women who stood tall
Peonies around the swing give feeling
A sign of hope your healing
Hydrangeas to show reference
To their perseverance
Sword lillies blooming true
To show a soldier his do
Down close to the creek you see Statice
Remeberance of a lost ones status
Around my house are forget me knots
Rest well brothers and sister you earned your spots
The tears fall like rain in a down pour
Red poppies in the flower bed
Reminder of the soldiers that are dead
Blue iris we have laid
Showing devotion with faith
Red and white roses on the lattice wall
For the men and women who stood tall
Peonies around the swing give feeling
A sign of hope your healing
Hydrangeas to show reference
To their perseverance
Sword lillies blooming true
To show a soldier his do
Down close to the creek you see Statice
Remeberance of a lost ones status
Around my house are forget me knots
Rest well brothers and sister you earned your spots

Its a funny thing some get it like yourself. Some dont. My heart goes to each i served with some not some same side some where on the other but i respect each one we all did our job i cant even hate the one that shot me. Alls forgiven unto them as i pray the ones ive done so have me. Doesnt seem it at the time of conflict but in the end it was never our call we just did our job same as the others. Good and evil is decided by history whom wears what crown but as soldiers all we saw was the demons it wasnt good for any

Omg even your response is poetry!
And yes, dear L, it is a job and one with many more psychological affects than others. Your forgiveness toward your transgressors, well, I’m going to thank you for that tonight and tear this page out of your playbook to a personal situation I’m coping with. Wear your crown with a high head my friend. It’s laden with jewels you’ve earned in your forgiving others, encouraging others and most importantly the love and honor you have for your family. Xx
