Poem
On a lonely rainy day in June of 1862 a Reb soldier was barley walking down the road after a great battle, when he came upon a fellow soldier who was lying in the mud. He stooped down to listen to the soldier's final words, "Mr. he said, I know that before this hour is over, I will no longer be here, so could you please take this letter or see to it, that my mama gets it"" The young man then passed on. The Reb soldier picked up the letter and began to read it, The letter dated June 5, 1862, went as follows, Dear Mama We are going into battle in a little while and I thought I needed to write you. I must tell you mother dear, that I truly belive, I won't be coming out of this one today. I will fall in battle and I will die this very day. I know I told you in my last letter that I would be home for Christimas, but I may not be able to. I know that you have worried about me terribly much mama, but you knew that I wanted to be here more than anything, I believed in the South's cause and I told you, not to worry, but that yes something could happen. Mama you taught me to be honest, to read my Bible and to pray everyday, most of all for me to obey those that had authority over me, you taught me well, because I have done all of those things. I love you dear mother and I just want to tell you I love you more than any son ever could love a mother. Don't be sad, I have to go now, were getting ready to leave, hope to write you again, if not I'll see you when you get to heaven, I will be there to greet you. Love, Your loving son, George, So the Reb soldier put the letter in his coat and went on his way, knowing that this letter would be delivered.
