Many heroes fall during battle <br />this fight for freedom often costs <br />these men and women we send to foreign shores <br />often it these lives that are lost <br /> <br />but they will not be forgotten <br />we honor those souls that slip away <br />and know that they've become angels <br />In heaven, on this day <br /> <br />The memory of them lives on <br />as we sleep we see their face <br />the dreams seem so very real <br />we often imagine their warm embrace <br /> <br />God has given them free reign <br />to whisper gently to the trees <br />to glide effortlessly among the clouds <br />and dry your tears with a breeze <br /> <br />So as long as we are alive <br />we will hold them in our hearts <br />and as long as we can breathe <br />our heroes will never be apart <br /> <br />So as we bury you with honor <br />we will grieve, then heal & pray <br />and even though we'll miss you you <br />we'll be reunited in heaven one day<br /><br />Linda Racaniello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gone-but-not-forgotten-poem-for-fallen-heroes/
