Smiling In The Trenches : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

Inside the war office plans are made and orders are relayed to the troops who are stuck in their trenches on the front line fighting the war .

   Carved into a mould is a soldiers existence where flags unfold as the cold wind carves an extra notch that emphasises who you are .

 Dug down in a deep muddy trench there is no room for complacency and the reality of war starts to sink in after a while .

There's no room for social climbers and the ladder to success is viewed on how many notches that have stretched over your skin when you smile .

 As you smile remember who you are as the bombs explode over you head and take shelter in the trenches where your orders have been sent .

      Soldier never loose your smile and as you fly that flag of freedom,

  find strength for the fight, until the force of the enemy has been spent .
