Saying Thanks

The nicest words

   one can say.

Is saying, "Thanks."

 

Saying Thanks

   to someone,

You have never met.

 

For doing for you

   is called,

An honor to them.

 

I have given

   hugs and

said, "Thanks a lot!"

 

But a lot never

   have ever heard,"Thanks"

or even seen a grin.

 

Many will never

   see the light,

of today.

 

They are

  "Special Ones."

Who have slipped away.

 

To Our Soldiers,

   of Today,

and Yesterday.

    Hi there, just to explain as no-one else seems to have the banned words are not cuss words but filler words.If you have not entered a POW Poem Of The Week before you may not have understood this.Just have a look throught the rules and try again next week.It takes a bit of getting used to.A poem of support for soldiers like your brave son.Take heart no-one means to hurt you.It's only a contest after all , Ros

    I never saw one cuss word,

    The words "Thanks wre words toaugh by my mother, Soldier a word a lot of us forget they are out there. I was paying respect to our country- has someone forgoten this place. Sorry but POW is the best place this poem could have gone - Just in case those who say the support our troops remember our troops often become POW, die end up mangled. Maybe I should say I am sorry, I only thow of POW People of our World. A real dummy that is me, Oh yes My son served for you people too. Give me a day I'll get over it - I have been very sick...mac

    This is a nice poem but for the Po contest that you have entered there are quite a few banned words that you have used that are not allowed so this piece will be removed from the contest. I do hope that you try to enter again but please remember these are contest that you have to pay close attention to the rules.
