LCDR Jeff Giles , SC, USN Shares a Military Christmas Poem

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that [...]

Pledge of the Saved

To change the world has been my burden
I often believed you placed upon me
But simple purpose of life can change me
What wasted days I have lived
Fearing I would lose my way
When all alone it was to be me
The simple living of the life
The morning breathe
The evening yawn
The loving family
The friends
The faith
The purpose
The daily rise
And nightly [...]

Pledge of the Tormented

Father, can you hear the discontent
creping reluctantly upon my spine
My faith is still when angel’s flee
My trust blind when devil’s breed
Weary is my soul
upon it a thousand drums beat
Troubled is my heart
I can hear the demons feed
Quiet is this hell
I beg a thousand prayers I be free
and rise with one note from thee
comfortably at peace

Pledge of Love

Tis’ your heart thy envy
selfless and effortless as the sun
warming thy darkest day
for beneath your eyes angels lay
May you know my love
though cold and distant it be
love always be the breath of me
the ageless whisper to be bold
the resonating charge to lead
For you the bells do toll
resurrecting the life of me

Pledge of the Poet

I do not write for Man
Thy words ring Heaven’s ear
Verse distracted by reason
Born of delusion, twisted by Fools
I write for debts waged
For time aged
Where Patrons prayed
Beneath the page
Where truth lay
Trust thy rage
Where sacrifice I made
On behalf of words I’ve saved
Free thy slave, and I’ll fade
To History’s cage
Beneath thy name, for Angel’s claim
And if my sullen [...]

Pledge of the Aged

Only the bells toll for the timid
resonating a call to surrender
soft whispers rage thy devil’s breathe
confirming time has banished thy debtor’s debt
but prisons form where age has crept
My whispers ring of God or death
locked by age my young dream weighs
twisted by the tongues of slaves
Stake thy tempters spell and rise this day
Play thy trumpets oh [...]

Pledge of the Devout

I pledge in my darkest days to still hold you Christ
Regardless the torment bestowed upon me
To overcome the hand of knaves by the light your grace
To not let complacency steal my pledged ways
That as fools are sorted by evil’s rage
I Lord, will be devoutly departed for being saved

Pledge of the Broken

I Pledge if you break me oh Lord
Shatter my world
Strip my confidence and let me fight.
That when you feed me to the savage and let me walk with Thieves
Who bring Evil’s ravage to tempt my sinner’s needs.
As you let the rage of Devils tear me limb from limb
That when all [...]

Pledge of the Faithful

I pledge my days on Earth be the measure of my faith
If Kings know my name heaven I’ll take
To trust God noble and just
If evil calls then let heaven wait
For I to return and avenge my sins
Beyond fiery death and rise from ash again
With virtue as vengeance unable to [...]

Pledge of the Soldier

I pledge to let haven’s grace fall upon me
To accept valor reborn by the light of the Lord
As a beacon I forsake all to follow
As the humble servant evil can not bind
With pure purpose and just cause
I’ll walk with Kings and bow to the sky
Where upon my knees heaven [...]
