Conflict, Victory & Love! Poem by Tom Zart

The greater the conflict we sometimes face
The more splendid is our victory.
The cruelty of man is hard to defeat
As it raises its head throughout history.

Evil lives to strike fear in the cheeks of all
And it's been that way since the dawn of time.
For a mind not allowed to have a free thought
Becomes but a slave to the wrongs of mankind.

At night, before sleep as you count your blessings
Be sure to thank God for those in harm's way.
Everything we dream of, believe and stand for
Depends on our soldiers and for what we pray.

It's not just guns and troop deployment
Or missiles on display in parade.
But trust, faith and cooperation
That stops our foes charade.

Always remember those who march
To the roll of muffled drums
Many we know, shall not return
Except to sleep beneath the mums.

THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR HEART?
