THE SOLDIER'S LAST MUSTER
by Paul Curtis When the sun is in the west You will safely go to rest At the setting of the sun With your soldiers duties done You will feel your God is nigh As you ascend up to the sky And in earths fading light Where tears diminish sight Where loved ones question why A new star will grace the sky Gleaming bright in the firmament Proudly amongst the regiment To mark the passing of a soldier son Who died not seeing victory won Now the time that moves us most The plaintive lament of the last post For those falling fighting foes Heads bow as the bugle blows I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
