A SOLDIER'S PRAISE

In a field of green, no seeds are sown
But year after year this garden grows
Planted here are hopes and dreams
Futures never to be seen.

Acres of sorrow,acres of pride -
America's heroes! For us they died
They went to war,some barely men
And never made it home again.

Those that did, never came back whole,
What they had seen had scared their souls
While we slept safe inside our homes
They screamed in the night, scared and alone.

Too many "Thank You's" left unsaid;
Only this garden, a monument to our dead.
But broken lives so many more,
Instead of praise, easier to ignore.

I am just one voice with so much to say -
Thank you for the freedom we have today,
You gave us your all for the American way.
- Bettina Franciosi -

A poem to all veterans of all wars - THANK YOU.

We all miss you very much, Emmy -
Your brother, Bill
