Poem of the Day , 2 - 14

This poem was written by Theresa Rogers to her husband Hoxey Rogers who served in the Second Vermont Infrantry during the Civil War .


August 11
by Theresa Rogers


We are marching o ' er lifes road Husband
My soldier brave and true
And many a time I ' de faltered
If it hadent been for you

The future looked so dreary
And our feet had weary grown
But you bravely said Teressa
We are only marching home .

We are sure to meet our dear ones
If bravely we push on
All safe in camp and waiting
To welcome us at home .

Our path in life ' s been stormy
And if we are not brave
We shall prove deserters
In that camp beyond the grave .

B'ham,
Very heartfelt ! I think there can be no happy poetry about the Civil War , that most uncivil encounter .

RTF !
