Our Honor
                                               By: Lawrence W Langman (c)

                                                   You realize the
                                                   wars that waged.
                                                   The precipice that
                                                   turned the page.

                                                   The lonely hearts
                                                   and souls abound.
                                                   No lack of courage
                                                   for it surrounds.

                                                   Tears cascade
                                                   like a rivers flows.
                                                   Reaching it's apex
                                                   against all of it's foes.

                                                   Your boots are full
                                                   of water and sand.
                                                   Muscles scream out
                                                   from all you demand.

                                                   Injuries crying out
                                                   needing some attention.
                                                   Voices in your head
                                                   expressing dissension.

                                                   Harkened to ye all
                                                   for this we declare.
                                                   When death dost call
                                                   show him no despair.

                                                   For it was our honor
                                                   to don these wears.
                                                   No need for parades
                                                   just wishes and prayers.
