Weep with Bitter Tears

As I set on this cold rainy night and reflect on the past years,
of the present fears, I weep with Bitter tears.
I think of my brothers so long gone,
Then I think of my brothers with no home.
I look at the life I have lived,
and think of the life so many have give.
I have never done anything to deserve all the pleasures I have known.
But I have brothers out there who so richly deserve a home.
There must be a way to reach those who my country owes. I must find a
way,
because those who gave there life I can not repay.
All who read this say a prayer,
that the misery and despair of our brothers and sisters will vanish into thin air.
They will find a warm shelter with food to spare.
Weep with bitter tears, for a country who now has deaf ears.
I love my country and don't get me wrong,
I have and will fight for her to keep her strong.
But the politicians who turn there back on our brothers and sisters I
have no respect.
I will help any and all I can,
so our younger generation will understand,
that the old soldier in the alley needs a helping hand.
Don't pass him by, help him once again to stand,
salute him and ask if you can help.
At least pray and weep with bitter tears.
Andy Williams

Good write. I have family that served and I also live in Florida where there are many homeless vets. Such a sad, sad legacy.

And I too salute u for this very touching write.
I luv my country too but I feel as I president has jus turned his back on us in order to obtain what he thinks is precious oil. I do feel good about the people that have been freed at our soilders exspense.
Such a very touching write and I think about the homeless especially in the Winter months.
god bless u.
huggs,
emy |
