Guest Blog Post - A Poem by Rick Haynes

Rick Haynes stopped by to share a poem with us as a guest post on my online journal. Thanks so much for this Rick! If you would like to support the writer, you can visit the origin of this poemhere on his blog!Bastion Boys by Rick HaynesWe saw a message about the boys away.How long to go, how long to stay.With the dust and the heat,and the boot sore feet.Of the longing to be home again.We saw the need of a comfort or two.From a reading book to a sweet to chew.And thought of the need,of the warrior creed.And the longing to be home again.So here we send to the boys away.Some small comforts for their day.On that foreign sand,in that hellish land.Of the longing to be home again.So we pray to god and wish you well.In that place you know, that living hell.With knee unbowed,it makes us proud.And the longing to be home again.
