With each yellow ribbon
Blowing in the wind
Is a reminder of all
We have lost
All those brave men and women
Who fought to keep us safe
Each yellow ribbon
Reminds of what
You all have done
For each one of us
You never knew any of us
Yet we are so proud of you
That is why we wave
The yellow ribbons
In your honor
To show you how proud
We are of all of you brave people
That is why we wave
The yellow ribbons
In your honor
To show you how
Proud we are of you
For everything that you have done
To make sure this place is free
And a safe place to live
We thank you
You are in each of our hearts everyday
That is why we wave
The yellow ribbons
We miss all that is lost
Who fought so long and hard
Thank you
For making me feel safe and free

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem while I was traveling. I saw many cemeteries that had yellow ribbons blowing in them. Being naive I thought it was only in movies seeing yellow ribbons and what they symbolize. After I saw them first hand really has changed how I think about them now.

I thought they tied them round the old oak tree, it seems times have changed.
