A poem for a fallen soldier My he rest in peace duty done A SOLDIER GAVE HIS LIFE TODAY, AWAY FROM HOME, SO FAR AWAY. HE HAD OFTEN WONDERED HOW IT WOULD END AS HE, HIS ENERGY DID ALL EXPEND. BACK AT HOME HIS FAMILY CANNOT BELIEVE THOSE HORRID WORDS THEY HAD JUST RECEIVED. SO YOUNG WAS HE, YET HOW HE HAD AGED IN THOSE MANY MONTHS THE WAR HAD RAGED. HE DIED KNOWING HE HAD DONE HIS BEST. NOW HIS BODY WILL BE LAID TO REST. WILL THE PRICE HE PAID BE REMEMBERED WELL? WHAT WORDS WILL THEY HIS LOVED ONES TELL? WILL A NATION’S GRATITUDE HIS FAMILY KNOW? FOR THE DEVOTION TO DUTY HE DID SO BRAVELY SHOW. HIS MEMORY WILL LIVE ON THOUGH HE BE GONE, MAY HONOR AND RESPECT BE PROPERLY SHOWN.
