Veterans
Just as the flag is tattered and worn
So are many, for an oath was sworn,
To serve a country,
It’s men and women,
Who often forget
The strife
Called life
Of the brave men and women
Who selflessly serve,
Who sacrifice,
Who love,
And lose,
In more ways than one,
Until their job is done,
And freedom has been
Solidified and won,
Not only for themselves
But for you, and for me,
And all who dream.
