Soldiers angels…it’s ironic how often they’re brought together in our thoughts and writings. Here I am doing it today. This Memorial Day 2013 has me thinking of how our world is another year closer to the end of this age. And I’m thankful for the soldiers who are away from home and loved ones right now helping to keep us safe. They’re all like guardian angels for us in the here and now.
And I’m thankful to all the great men and women who gave up their lives for that same cause. They’re no longer guardian angels, but many of them live in the realm of angels.
And ironically many of those angels will be soldiers here on earth one day…also fighting for the causes of freedom…life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. So, as I pondered these somber thoughts I decided to write my daily rhyme about them…
Soldiers, Angels
Soldiers, angels, walkin’ through the green grass
Underneath the blue skies,
Singin’ soft lullabies,
And they carry baubles made of brass.
Soldiers, angels, hikin’ up the high road
Lookin’ for the heart light
Gotta make it start right
Now because they have a heavy load.
Soldiers, angels, have left us a tutorial
On how to skip mistakes
Like everybody makes…
Then we build a sad memorial.
Soldiers, angels…one becomes the other
Takin’ on a new role
And up goes the death toll.
Why can’t every man just love his brother?
Soldiers, angels…we can’t live without them
Paying for our error
Till God stops this terror…
And that’s why I wrote this poem about them.
