Life fought for,
Life lived,
Promised,
And won,
A man,
Strong and proud,
Lie down his head,
Wounds mended,
He smiled,
Knowing he was loved,
He would be missed,
Rest assured that this man,
Is now at peace,
Love is never dying,
Even when we part,
He is only a heart beat,
A blink,
A smile away,
So I Smile,
I Laugh,
I know he will see,
And know,
Forever,
That he is with me,
He is protecting me,
He is my soldier,
Forever.

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem just after my poppa died. He was in a tank that stormed the beach at Normandy on D-day. He was only 19 years old at the time and was the driver. He was very proud of his service although I know it haunted him at times. Hugs and Kisses, Poppa
