Poets United: Poetry Pantry 165

A new found place to share...Poets United:  Poetry Pantry 165.  

Dad brought too much

Home from the war

Things he should've left behind

Were always with him

He taught me to love my country

Respect the flag

Enjoy our freedom

And thank the veterans

But the nightmares

And the over heard stories

When Veterans visited

Told me I was lucky

Dad made it home

A different man

A grateful man

A haunted man but home

Thank you…

to every person who has ever served

 and to those serving your country.

We await your safe return.

 We honor your service.

Thank you.
