Letter To Our Heroes

Hi Guys You don’t know me and I know we will never ever meet guess you are on a mission, which you need to complete Can I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the sacrifices you make which will keep you apart from loved ones, family, children, partner or a wife - they are left alone whilst you continue with your forces life It must be so so hard, I know you are doing a job you trained for it’s such a tragedy that you are fighting and our world is still at war Fighting – why cant we all live together in harmony and you can return to be in the arms of your family May God keep you safe and I pray that all wars will cease and we live together in safety and more importantly live in peace 08~26~14 N/A in previous contest I had only been writing 6 months when I wrote this rhyme for a contest. I like the simplicity of lines yet they still manage to convey a powerful message of thanks but also for hope for peace in the future

Nice thought on peace. Really this poem bears the passion of loneliness and sacrifice of country's soldiers. Loved always, my lovely friend, bl

Thanks for the lovely comments as ever Tim. I used to have 3 penpals in the forces during the Falklands War one of them was the love of my life from when I was 16 - we were incredible friends yet never took it further. I will never forget going to his house and meeting his mum who said ' oh you are Jan the girl Ian is going to marry - he went out of one door i went out the other was so embarrassing - we never dated it would have totally spoiled our friendship and yes we are still in touch at Christmas - happy memories :-) Jan xxx
