May 2016
I saw and went forth to accomplish
It was torture and I endured anguish
Ammunition everywhere
It was more than any war compare
This was a global battle affair
As a Soldier, we had to beware
Bloodshed and wounds
The American flag cloth and casket bearing death
But it was dignity having a destiny
An honor not looking for any pity
I fulfilled my quest in being military’s best
Words that go beyond any battlefield
It was my silent words within being concealed
All that and more during my war days while
A mission that was at hand
Seeing the endless horizon being the demand
I still remember the ashes of destruction
There was no longer any distinction
I lived the life as a Soldier
The war yet continues
But the Lord said, “I fought a good fight”
Come home to Heaven and redeem the rewarding light
The sun shines on me
My face is the vision that all will see
My military fight is done
But continue Soldiers where I left off and be among
A battle is never done until finished.
