Salute to the Fallen

The soldiers stood still, their hearts full of dread
For an upcoming day, they wished to be dead
Memories of fallen comrades, they couldn't evade
Their sorrow and pain, impossible to trade

The air was thick, with a somber mood
As they prepared for a day, they wished to elude
The faces around, all etched with despair
For they knew this weekend, would be hard to bear

The stories they shared, of those no longer here
Their voices choked up, they held back the tears
They longed to be with them, just one more time
To ease lingering pains, of not holding the line

Their uniforms crisp, their spirits were low
As they stood in silence, awaiting the show
A tribute to their comrades, now laid to rest
Their memories, forever etched in their chest

As the sun set low, and the day drew to an end
The soldiers stood strong, their hearts on the mend
Though they'd lost their friends, their memories held high
Knowing they'd honor them, til the day that they die

To those that served, and their families and friends:
This weekend, we salute you.
