Somewhere on the battlefield, a man is sent from home. <br /> <br />Somewhere on the battlefield, a man is at war, <br /> <br />With decisions, complicated and hard. <br /> <br />Somewhere on the battlefield, a man stands at post. <br /> <br />Fearful, but strong, he strikes the enemy one by one. <br /> <br />Somewhere on the battlefield, an opposing fortress, <br /> <br />Feeble and unreliant is destroyed. <br /> <br />Somewhere on the battlefield, a Hero is born. <br /> <br />Somewhere on the battlefield, our Hero wins the war. <br /> <br />Somewhere on the battlefield, the war and men are revered. <br /> <br />Somewhere at home, a family rejoices for life and freedom. <br /> <br />(9/9/2004)<br /><br />Michael Koelliker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-battlefield-3/
