Veterans/Memorial Day Poem, #219
I WANT TO GO HOME: In memory of MIAs The morning calm flowed gently through the hills Bugles went silent after the night s kill The night before the bugles had blared With the morning calm I was still there Snow and cold now ripped through the hills A new time, a new enemy, a new kind of kill Again the enemy bugles tried to even the score Wind, snow and cold would be more to endure We the souls of the dead were left to roam Family and friends left to eternally moan Minds and souls will never heal If our souls are forgotten in faraway fields Mom I want to go home Written from the Heart by Donald Gill Korean War Veteran (USMC) More Poetry http://members.aol.com/warlib/poems.htm Submit a poem http://www.amervets.com/poems/mypoem.htm -- Otis Willie (Ret.)
