Words Not Spoken
© Beatrice Boyle Although he could not say with words The love he felt inside He treasured every moment And his heart would fill with pride He never said I love you But he came to every game Even in defeat his son knew He loved him just the same He'd pat him on the head Or maybe ruffle his hair And tell him he was proud of him As long as he played fair When he graduated college I love you wasn't said He smiled as he shook his hand Mumbling, well done, my boy instead When his son went to war He trembled as he spoke And brushing away the tears He made a little joke Now, his son's come home And he stands with eyes downcast His hands stroking the coffin Saying I love you son at last!

For A Soldier
© Alisha When you wake up in the morning or stay up on nights end know that your sister is here till the very end When you gather your equipment and grasp your gun Know that you're loved, brother, uncle, son When you think of the memories we all shared before Think of the future and know that there be more When you look at pictures and see your wife I want you to smile brother because she is your life. When your hurting inside cause you think you've done wrong Lift your head up and remember you're strong When you fire your weapon and see injuries dead Please hold on tight don't let it go to your head When you leave from there and you're packed for home I want you to think back and know you weren't alone When you see us and we hold you tight I will smile and tell you that you held up a fight. Be strong Scott I know you can do this Because when this is over your life will be full of bliss Source: Poem From Sister For Her Brother, For A Soldier http://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/for-a-soldier#ixzz2WDsLAat1 www.FamilyFriendPoems.com |
My Brother
© Virginia Thom I am so very proud Of how he turned out to be He is out there standing his ground Fighting for our country I could not ask for a better man To be in my family I am glad God had this plan For me to have a brother like thee We may not have got along And we may have had our fights But we turned out to be strong And stand up for what is right We got raised by the best And I know my brother will agree They put us to the test To make sure we could be all we could be I just want my brother to know That deep down in my heart There is a special glow That gets bigger when we're apart It is a glow of love for you That can not be explained And it will go through Anything that gets in its way So just remember this That I am always here And I will always wish That we will always be near Source: My Brother At War, War Poem http://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/my-brother-at-war#ixzz2WDtNEA2v www.FamilyFriendPoems.com |
Stop All The Blood
© Carlos Villalobos Restrain your anger And run to find some shelter Flames and eruptions Are there only reactions Comrads and brothers Are facing all the slaughter They will not surrender To them you are the offender Stop all the blood They've had enough If you keep fighting People will keep dieing There's got to be another way Without causing pain everyday Vengeance and sorrow Will be yearning tomorrow Twenty more years remain Until we can conquer their reign It seems never ending As it ends everything When will you learn that There are other ways to combat There are only two outcomes here And each of them is very severe You can either rise victorious And to them you will be glorious But just as you can rise, you can fall a failure After all that you had to endure It's not worth going through when there are other things you can do Source: Stop All The Blood, War Poem http://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/stop-all-the-blood#ixzz2WDtTag8u www.FamilyFriendPoems.com |
