Freedom's Call

Forever will I long for you 
Remembering your love each day
Enabled me to make it through  
Each time I shipped away 
Do not be afraid," I said, 
Oblige me in this task I take
Many people depend on me 
Soldier's love do not forsake

Come to me in the dark of night
And I shall know you believe 
Let me hear your silent prayer
Let your love help me achieve

Hello Judy! I really enjoyed your poem and I was wondering who would you say is reading this poem. In other words, who is the personna in the poem? Thank you very much!

Hello, I have no idea. It's just an acrostic referencing how a soldier may feel. Thanks for your visit!
