This first stanza is in the present-tense as opposed to most of the poem being in the past-tense. I would change this to match the rest.
Quote:But unlike any Soldier in the war,
you are without a gun
Working under egregious condition.

And yet, you continue to move heaven and earth.
Same thing with past/present-tense here.
Quote:With no further ado, in the front line you stood and fought against the worst enemyInstead of "With no further ado," I would say something like "Without hesitation." It feels more like what you're trying to convey, but I could be wrong.
Thanks so much for the feedback. I didn't really think or paid attention that most poems are written in the past-tense.
I also like the suggestion for the 3rd stanza.
Thank you!!
