Before You Go

This poem is for all those couples who have loved ones with responsibilities around protecting their nation, like the armed forces. Especially, all those involved in current global wars and conflict. May peace be with you and this world. Blessings, peace and love. Before you go By Michelle Morris 11/12/2022 In these loving arms I feel love's warm beat Encircled by trust Feeling so complete Love and its lessons Wisdom and knowledge We learned them well We loved them with courage I don't ever want to leave you I don't ever want to move But all we have is now And I know the bitter truth You have battles and war You have responsibilities This may be our last moment And Christmas may never be real We try to block out these images But we know this is really goodbye So, we pack everything into our kisses And act like Death will come for the ride In these loving arms I feel like we're alone in this world Please give me one more night Before you go back to war © Michelle Morris, 2022
