We’ve all seen horrors But they’ve seen worse. That is the power of their worth. One step forward Only to be thrown back. Blown to bits, But they stay on Track. With sheer will And courage put Forth. That is the power of their worth. Red poppies for the blood they’ve spilt. Losing friends, sometimes family. May those poppies never wilt. PTSD if you know what I mean. Flashbacks to the bloody scenes. Footsteps forward across scorched earth. That is the power of their worth. Acts of the greatest love. Fighting with selfless courage. Not for glory or gain But pushing through gory pain. That is the power of their worth.

The Greatest Love
