Stories & Poems About War
But for
the “Corps”, it’s been quite long.
“ Brothers” and “sisters” still mourn the loss
of fellow comrades, of war’s true cost.
And though they’ve parted from this land…
They’re now assigned… to God’s command!
November 10th
of every year…
Is when the “Corps”, shares birthday cheer.
That’s how it’s been throughout the years…
A lot of
laughter, talk, and tears.
Some reflect on days gone by…
And wonder why they didn’t die?
But then
they’ll pause, and make a toast…
To fellow Marines, that gave the most!
Then thank the “Corps”, from deep inside
for giving them, unending pride.
They’ve always been, a special force
to take the ground, and stay the course.
And when our freedom has a threat…
The “Corps” responds… without regret!
