Friday Poem – A Veterans Tribute

Whatever their uniform, we think of them all
Those brave men and women, so proud and so tall
As we were once in their ranks, (be it air, land or sea)
We know of the sacrifice, to keep us all free

Of those never served, many don’t know
That the troops are our friends; that they’re no real foe
They fight for our freedom, our hopes and our dreams
So stand and applaud, when you see one in greens

Stand as a nation, showing they’re not alone
That we are all waiting, for their safe return home
As veterans we know, the commitment that’s made
In keeping our shores safe, that none can invade

This tribute to our forces, is because we all care
For all our brave troops, for all those who dare
Next time you see one, please take a stand
Show them they’re special, by shaking their hand…
