I dream of a world of peace, equality and love. May 2012 be the year my dream comes true.

Cruises along Baghdad streets
Feared by enemies
Embraced by Iraqi citizens
Proud missionary of justice, equality and freedom.

Thanks for sharing your poem, Jill — love it.
Great Veterans' Day poem! I'll save this.
This is great
You're amazing, Jill!
Very well done...
Followed your Twitter trail and found your blog. Thanks for answering my question re: publisher's interest in picture books written in verse. Re : this post--I just saw a piece on the news about how vet's unemployment rate is 30%, so your poem definitely hits home. Again, thanks for the Twitter chat advice :) !!
