Mirror This ?

You look at me but you don't see
Visions, vows, oaths and me


Battles fought,
lost and won
Lessons  received, imagined and taught


You look at me but you don't see
Visions, vows, oaths and me


A civilian prisoner of war
name, rank and nerves ajar


You look at me but you don't see
Visions, vows, oaths and me


They salute you who deliver
when lesser men shake and shiver


You look at me but you don't see
Visions, vows, oaths and me


Turn your gaze inward and look at yourself
as I return you to your hallowed shelf


You look at me but you don't see
Visions, vows, oaths and me


Enjoy our Veteran's Day ?
