Poem -

A lonely soldier

A lonely soldier

Standing in trenches

Living in fear every day

Missing those closest

Thousands of miles away

Fighting for freedom

With death all around

A soldier sits weary

With his best mate

Motionless on the ground

Battles were fought

In the rain and the cold

Disease and depression

For the young and the old

They fought for our freedom

Women children and men

So in all that we do

We will remember them

Welcome to Cosmofunnel !

A strong message. We must always appreciate those who in the past fought to give us freedom, and those who are currently serving to defend that freedom. 

Solid write.

Wishing you all the best in your endeavours.  :)
