FOR ALL WAR VETS, TO WHOM MY FREEDOM IS OWED
Author: Unknown
Please go and rest
my friend, my hero
dream of a land and lea
mountains, and rivers,
ocean, lakes, placid and serene
as once your youth was
before the momentum
of brainwashing and believing
in your innocence
how I will live free
under the serene and calm
swaying of the trees,
leaves fluttering in the winds ..
a music to my freedom.
Go and rest your weary soul...
remember I am with you all the way
to this cause...
I can't do it all
by myself
and while tears are yet pouring
for a cause I never knew
nor understood
until now,
with the torments of
your heart and soul
left among the pains
among the sorrows
far deeper
than love can cause
in the jungle, was I to know?
was I to be told?
that my freedom
was the very depth of your
sufferings?
so that my children
and their children's children
and billions more to come
can really be free?
Rest, oh thy heart that
has been torn
body that was broken
will that was bent
and a soul that is restless.
Rest and I will pray for you
as all of those who gave
their innocence and youth
their strength and hopes
and yet neglected, misguided
misunderstood, left for no good
the least I can do
for right now.
Rest..I am with you.
God bless.

About this poem:
I am still crying for my friend RHR and all those who are now misguided and misunderstood, helpless living in a world that can't be fathomed. Deep down is a curse only God can heal.
For the veterans who are now living in oblivion. Not because of lack of support from the government but the drugs they used to numb them against the terrors and brutalities of war render them conditioned with an affliction only miracle can cure.

Thank You, Dear Phyllis!

I'm so sorry for what your beloved friend RHR had to live, but I'm sure he felt less pain and a little more relieve in all those harder moments, because he had a good friend like you near. God take and use us, to give His love to those who are around us, even the hardest of the circumstances that we have to live.
You are one of that specials persons, called earth angels. Everyone of the poets in this corner can give testimony of all your care for others.
Dear Phyllis, Thinking about your beloved friend,you and our lovely God I felt the need to post this link to you.
God Bless you, and over all, God Bless RHR.
Trust in God and in His word, because our lovely father will take about him forever...
