Mass graves pile on high <br />As politicians wage wars <br />And soldiers die <br /> <br />Fathers, sons, brothers in arms <br />Are all sent abroad <br />To protect our lands <br /> <br />Letters written home had meaning then <br />And are passed down in boxes with heirlooms <br />Until they are found once again <br /> <br />An eager descendent wanting to learn <br />About war hero’s and ancestors <br />Who’s respect he has earned <br /> <br />For keeping their memory alive <br />And reading their letters home <br />So their name can once again thrive.<br /><br />Kirstyanne SharkeyDaly<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forgotten-voices-2/
