And on the battlefield we’ll bleed.

We’ll fight with courage and with nerve.

To family and friends we haven’t known.
A bittersweet end to our mission served,
Yet grateful for life and love preserved.

Trench Warfare

Beneath the dirt and grime we lay
With comrades in the thick of fray
The world above is but a blur
As we focus on the task at hand, to endure

With ammunition running low
And enemies lurking in the shadow
We must stand firm, we must stand tall
United as one, we’ll never fall

The sound of bombs and gunfire loud
But in this moment, we must be proud
Proud to serve, proud to fight
For freedom and justice, we’ll never lose sight

This war may seem like it has no end
But we’ll keep fighting until the end
Together we’ll conquer, together we’ll prevail
For our brothers in arms and country, we’ll never fail

The Last Goodbye

As I stare into your eyes,
I see a soul that is tired,
a heart that is weary,
of the battles that never end.

You stand at attention,
tall and proud,
a vision of strength and honor,
but I know the truth.

You have seen the horrors of war,
you have felt the pain of loss,
you have given everything
for the cause you believe in.

And now, as we say goodbye,
I am filled with a sense of loss,
a sadness that cannot be expressed,
for I know I may never see you again.

But I will carry your memory with me,
and I will honor your sacrifice,
I will tell your story with reverence,
and I will never forget the price you paid.

So sleep well, my dear soldier,
know that you are loved,
that you will be missed,
and that you will always be remembered.

Long Poems

The Soldier’s Lament

In trenches deep with mud and rain
We stand our ground with might and bane
We fight for country, flag and name
And wonder if we’ll see them again

With rifle at our fingertips
We wait for enemy’s deadly trips
We pray to God in every breath
To keep us safe from painful death

The crash of bombs, the sound of guns
Our hearts beat fast, our fears begun
The smell of smoke, the taste of blood
Remind us of the cost of good

We miss our wives, our kids, our moms
We wonder if they miss us some
We dream of home, of peace and calm
But we know that now it’s gone

We see our mates fall one by one
We scream their names, but they’re gone
Our tears are hidden, our pain is shown
Our souls are broken, our hearts alone

The night is long, the day is short
Our minds are tired, our souls are caught
We wonder if we’ll make it through
And if our love will see us too

We’ll fight until the battle’s end
We’ll give our all until we bend
We’ll honour soldiers gone before
And give our best to win the war

For country, flag and name we’ll die
For freedom, peace and justice nigh
We’ll stand our ground with will and might
And pray to God for victory’s light

So when you see a soldier’s face
Remember him for all his grace
For he’s the one who fought for you
And made your dreams and hopes come true.

The Unbreakable Soldier

I am a soldier, born to protect,
To serve my country, with utmost respect,
I’ve been trained to fight, to face my fears,
To never give up, no matter the tears.

I wear my uniform, with pride and honor,
I stand for my nation, like a sturdy rock of armor,
I serve with my brothers and sisters in arms,
In the darkest of nights, we remain unharmed.

We’ve been to war, we’ve seen the pain,
We’ve lost friends, but we continue to sustain,
Our bodies may ache, our souls may be torn,
But our hearts beat strong, forever reborn.

We fight for freedom, for peace and for love,
Our courage runs deep, like the wings of a dove,
We are the defenders, the guardians of light,
Ready to lay down our lives, for what’s right.

Our training is rigorous, our discipline tough,
We prioritize teamwork, and never give up,
We face adversity, with resilience and grit,
And come out victorious, even when we’re hit.

But let not our might, define who we are,
Beneath our armor, beats a human heart,
We miss our families, we long to be home,
To hug our loved ones, to never again roam.

But we continue to serve, with our heads held high,
Our sacrifices, never seen by a civilian’s eye,
We are the protectors, the unsung heroes,
Our story of valor, forever unfolds.

So if you see a soldier, or pass by a base,
Salute with respect, for the risks we embrace,
We are the unbreakable, the strongest of kind,
Our duty to serve, unyielding, in body and mind.
