A Soldiers Wish

Give me reason to live, give me reason to love. Fill my soul full of hope light the stars up above. Let my eyes see the beauty that women desire, let my heart beat with wings to soar high and higher. If none of these things are yours to give then paint me a picture where we both can live. A place full of harmony peaceful and still. Where deaths touch is lost with no fresh graves to fill. This above all will give me reason to love, this will light the stars up above.

There IS a "spiritual paradise" that's not been painted. ONE Faith ....exist with global unity. No one war's against another. They've fulfilled verse on United Nations, building, by "Beating their swords into plowshares". "No fresh graves they fill ....except their own for not killing.You write so beautifully,,true poet! Congrats..bbn Glad met you!
