Veterans Rememberance=Poem I wrote 1 Attachment(s) In God’s Loving Arms In a land far off you went to war, So it’s people could know and have freedom, there you are. You give so much to those you do not know, Your spirits are down and you feel so low. In a far off land you give your all, To man,women child, to each at their call. You came home all broken and your spirit array, From the memories of war, they were to forever stay. Oh, but you were referred to untold words and more, Your life was a shamble, so much pain you lived to endure. As time went on you became quite ill, It wasn’t from drugs or any pill. Your time was up in that far off land, You began to drink, drowning the memories you could not stand. My last talk with you, your fear was so great, To me your wishes you so did state. You felt such guilt from fighting in the war, coming back home to find unwelcomes galore, You questioned if God would welcome you home, and what was in store. I asked you if you believed in Jesus and God’s Great Love for you, You said yes, and what will HE do. I told you HE would welcome you home, You told me what you wanted on your headstone. Yes Raymond, God has you now FOREVER MORE, Your headstone reads what you asked it to bore. “Now I know more than any man alive.” Written by me Patti on November 11, 2008 I have written the above poem in memory of my cousion Raymond, as of last year, I know that he is forever In God’s Loving Arms. My heart goes out to each of those that also have felt the same pain as Raymond. I didn’t take any time in writing this, God lead me in my thoughts and words, I want to say Thank you to all whom have served in all branches in the United States Armed forces, And also to those in other lands that have always stood by the United States in the cause for Freedom. Jack and I want to especially thank the families of those that have served, your sacrifices were many. Thank you, Patti and Jack |
That was beautiful. Thank you:) |
May God bless Raymond, and all other soldiers. My father was a Veteran of WW2. I seem so far away from all what is going on now, ... as I only know of WW2 from what little my dad told me of the horrors he saw (in only small bits & pieces). I just know our boys now are seeing such horrors as well, from friends who have kids over there. Today is a special day for me. I have my Fathers Flag from when the 21 gun salute was done at his funeral at age 75 in 2001. Remembering how each shot rang out and shook me to my core. I was looking at his flag (which I keep over my TV) this morning and all his patches & pins from his Army uniform and remembering all Veterans. Thank you for your post. :sad: |
Your poem gave me goose bumps That was very moving. Thank You. We should always give thenks for all the blessing..no matter how small...We all live ,because others did'nt. |
Patti, God has certainly given you a gift for writting and putting your thoughts into words. May Raymond be with his maker and at peace. Thank you Raymond and all other's who have fought for this great country, America, we all call home.:smileyfla Hope you and Jack are feeling well now Patti. You do have a very special gift and thank you for sharing it with me. Hugs, |
1 Attachment(s) Here is my Dad in WW2. Pic on the left with the arrow pointing to it. This is a pic in a book about his Infantry Division during WW2........ the 83rd..."Thunderbolts". He was just 17/18 years old. :( Just a kid. I hope you don't mind.... i think anyone who has a Vet should post them under your topic, it is so important today. :) i have one of my dads cute face but I'll need to search for it more on the computer... |
Very well written, tears came to my eyes. My boyfriend who actually bought me my precious furbaby is a disabled combat vet, he fought in Iraq and Afgahnistan. I am so glad that he is here with me today!! He is my hero. To those who have served :smileyfla |
