Array ( [sid] => 118670 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => TO THE LASS IN RED [time] => 2006-04-20 09:47:42 [hometext] => I dedicate this poem to all the soldiers in the world, who stay away from their home and love, so that you and I may sleep peacefully in our cozy home. [bodytext] => Ho, mountain lass in red, thy longing gaze
beyond the icy peaks, seeking dotingly for thy
darling, he though is shielding thy motherland, by
freezing body to tussle - offering soul to his soil.

Hold’s thy charming face as aspiration, yet accomplishes
his mission with determination, bravely fight’s his foes
with aggression - from dawn till dusk, aspire to hold thee in leisure,
on the land free of foes, while he dance to the music of Blue boys.

Ho, mountain lass in red, fear not, for he shall come
to claim thee, after painting the mountain red,
drenched by thy enemies blood, boldly driving the
venomous foes far beyond the fence.

As a true son of the soil, loves his motherland
as he love’s thee, may be more, for cradling thee.
(FRANCO)

This is a lovely tribute, bless our soldiers and the families of our military!

I have read a lot of poetry dedications on this site to the soldiers and about patriotism. Most either completely fabricate a wrong definition of patriotism, or come off completely self righteous. Very few are moving, gentle, and tributed without selfish intentions to anyone.

Your poem here is an exception if ever there was one. There is nothing political in this, and not even anything self complimenting. This is a true tribute laced with beautiful word choice and terrific flow. This my friend, is something for soldiers to feel. This is something worth fighting for.

WELL DONE, WELL DONE!
