Need a poem for my brother who is in Iraq .?

Answer 1

Liberty's Gown:

Her purity and innocence
Are signified by white
Vigilance and justice
Are the blue of shadowed night
Fearlessness and valor
Painted red her vivid gown
And for this She’ll never fade,
Or run, or be worn down
For everyone, she proudly wears
Pure white and midnight blue
But defenders of her home
She wears the red for you.

She’s followed you to foreign lands
Cried for your battle scars
Because she knows you suffered
For her stripes and shining stars
Lately she’s been braiding
Yellow ribbons in her hair
To show she won’t forget you,
And she will always care
She bares her heart for all to see
Be they steadfast or untrue
But defenders of her home
She wears the red for you.

Answer 2

I think he'll understand this one quite well...and how you feel about him too.

The Brave

How lonely seems the little tree
Perched mountain high, in alpine’s lee
Gnarled by wind and rain and snow
But enduring in silent dignity

Majestic in its tenacity
Its branches held high, yet rigidly
As if it clenched needled fists to God
And claimed a right to sovereignty

The ants that chew upon its bark
The ice that leaves a jagged mark
Affect it less than the stars above
Sparkled superiority in the lonely dark

This lonely piece of evergreen
As poetic a metaphor as you’ve ever seen
Cares not the least how it’s perceived
And lives its life with a constant lean

It leans towards the winds that blow
It faces the brittle winter snow
Its only goal is to make it to Spring
The struggle is all it will ever know

Some call it brave to so endure
But, as for me, I’m not quite sure
You see, it has no other choice
Although its motive may be pure

Much braver are the ones with choice
Who stand in spite of the inner voice
That says, “RUN AWAY!” yet they stand tall
…to me, they’re the bravest of them all

Dulce decorum ET.. if you don't feel like listening to an unpublished bum trying to tell you how you feel..

time is to short but to long when your gone,
words so simple are impossible to say when your not here,
the little things you do are the biggest things i spare,
the foolish part is i love you doesn't seem to be the right words,
i miss you sounds understated,
knowing i can't see you everyday has my emotions sedated,
i support your fight, i support you, and when you feel alone,
remember I'll see you when you get home

Answer 4

i'm with kelsy you gotta sa what you mean from YOU not just something catchy and for that matter the most tresured words are usually not even poems i mean lets say you write a 2 or 3 page letter just telling your brother what you feel about what he is doing and how proud of him you are do you think he will say oh this means nothing to me 'cause it does not ryme ?remember reason is most important

Answer 5

If you're a writer, you should write him one.
It's much more personal and has much more meaning if it comes from your heart and not someone elses.
Good luck. =D

Answer 6

I love you,
words so easy and yet so hard to say.
Stay here with me, don't go away.
Your duty calls
and whom and I to say?
So, I say I love you.
Part of my heart and my soul.
My brother,
I love you.

Answer 7

i agree with kelsey. it has to come from the heart, otherwise it doesen't mean anything. yes, it has to come from ur heart, not someone elses.
