An Old Soldier's Closet Poem by Joseph T. Renaldi
An Old Soldier's Closet
The old soldier's closet holds memorabilia
in which he enjoys to reminisce and browse,
and thoughts of his military service to the
Nation gradually begins to rouse.
This is a closet where moth balls abound
with hangers of uniforms from former bases
still neatly pressed and offering him
an imaginary trip to former world places.
The old soldier's uniforms hanging there
suggests an earlier military styling
and instantly his present thoughts
with his past service is reconciling.
Staring at all the military paraphernalia
transfers him from this modern plane -
with teary eyes and a spirit of humbleness,
he is a dedicated soldier again.
Very memorable Mr. Renaldi. Dedicating and expressing to our soldiers that past. Very great poem.
Great write Joseph! A nice tribute to our soldiers of past! Very well written! ! ! ! A (10) ! Thad
