My Soldiers Heart

At 3:55 AM, my soldier wakes up, I know he doesn't want to leave my side But he is a soldier, it's not a choice we take it with stride He does all he needs to do before putting on a uniform that many are afraid to wear I put on my robe, my slippers, and grab my phone, then I meet my solider down stairs. Why you ask,... Why would I get up so early when I could simply lay in bed and rest... Because my time with him each day is limited and I love my soldier, he is the best. He laces up his Army boots, as we sit outside and talk. With my phone in hand, I find myself watching the clock, At 4:20, I sigh because it is time for him to go It will be sundown before I get to see him again Yes, its hard, we know. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter about the time we had to spend apart Because nothing out weighs how much I love my solider, I truly love my soldiers heart.

Hi and thank you for the warm welcome as well as taking the time to read my poem. As for me, I am 34 and my entire life has been military. My dad was a general, my brothers are army and airforce, and the guy I am dating now is army. I find poetry as my oasis, a way for me to express what my heart feels because growing up military, you kind of learn to just hold everything in but poetry allows me to get past that.

Jaden,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thank you so much John. He makes it so easy for me to be everything he deserves by more than I could have ever hoped for and showing me every single day just how much I mean to him. I honestly did not know this kind of love and happiness existed from a romantic aspect until I met him and now because of him, my heart walks outside of my body. Thank you again for reading my poem and commenting. I really appreciate it!
