A Soldiers Love Letter

A Soldiers Love Letter
By Nate Spears

To my heavenly father
My beautiful kids
The love of my life, my wife
Our love will never end


Everyday away from you is hard
Even harder than watching
The death over seas
Of innocent kids at war

What we have is true love
True love is hard to find
True love is me and you
True love is all we got

When I return home
My life with you will be forever
I can't wait to spend my days of sun rise with you
And evenings of sunset kissing your lips
With you; the love of my life.

Providing you with the best in life
Is my only wish and offer
For you're my heart
My everything
My love

The next morning this soldier was killed in a roadside bomb blast
His love survived through this poem you've read
This letter is proof when
Someone truly loves you
That love will find it's way back.
