40 Faces Poem by steve Mcwilliam

40 Faces



I see their young faces that ever remain,
I have done their Vales, my respect, in my way,

40 young faces, I seen every day,
40 young men, age forever at bay.

40 brave young souls who asked for nothing,
40 families missed, ever crying,
40 brothers are forever being,
40 brothers bond in every meaning.

40 40 more names that are etched on tombstones,
40 40 more young souls, for us to atone,
40 Mates will never be alone,
40 more legends have found a new home.

40 more tears to fall on ANZAC day,
40 more Soldiers will forever stay,
40 more Soldiers died so young so brave,
40 more Soldiers with no more todays.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

For their service and their sacrifice, my heart salutes them. To the friends and families left to grieve, my prayers....For the 40, the next 40, the countless 40, the forgotten 40, the all too many reoccurring 40, and the seemingly endless threats facing the next 40....When is enough, enough? ? ? ? ? Powerful and profound write. PEACE
