Roaming Soldier

Can you hear me as I try to sleep, whispers within my space. Can you hear me cry as I dream, of my home, my families place, Do you understand at all, just how this battle goes on. Do you know all that fall, the hero's as they stand strong. My whisper is my prayer to God please, keep us under you sword and sheild. Help us to keep up the pace, help us in this battle feild. A whisper is all I can hear, as I begin to fall. A whisper is just, my dear, a way to give you my call. Will I come home to you again, or will God take me. This whisper tells me in my head, only God knows where I will roam.

This poem came to me when I wrote so much poetry for our Veterans. I sent a large packet to them and received a very nice letter with a Bronze Metal. My husband is a veteran and many thanks have been given to him as we just walk. He always wears his cap and I guess that is how they know. I know it feels good to any Veteran that is thanked for our Freedom and keeping Old Glory to wave Free. I will be posting more poems for our Veterans.
