The Higher Trail |
 |
|
Burdened soldiers,
When you are feeling down,
lift
your head and look around
There is a way to higher ground
There is a trail forever leading home,
paved with love,
in each and every stone
The ones who travel it, do not
trek alone
It is brightly lighted end to end, by caring
and there are friends, for burden sharing
It is
maintained with honor and pride,
made wide enough for
side by side
Gallant soldiers, journey on
Leave the
past, it is gone
Soldiers, heed the words I say...
Walk proudly as you go on your way
Know that we are so
proud of you
for always, yesterday and today,
and when
your course of time has run
History will record your
rewards in stone
and it will read...
�Well done...
Welcome home' |

Grant is a Vietnam Veteran having served with the US Marines in 1968-69 and is, of course, Faye's muse. Faye is deeply interested in Veterans' Affairs and Veterans' Causes. She is very proud of Grant and her poetry is an off-shoot of that pride.
