The Soldier

THE DAY HAS COME, SHE CAN’T STOP CRYING! HE REASSURES HER AGAIN HE WILL COME HOME! A KISS MAYBE THE LAST, HE TURNS TO GO…HE MUST!! HE CAN’T TURN BACK NOW, THE SIGHT OF HER OUT THE WINDOW, ONE TEAR FALLS! CAN LOVE PROTECT HIM AND BRING HIM HOME? DESERT, GUNSHOTS RING OUT! HEAT…HE LAYS THERE DYING, HE SEES HER FACE, ONE TEAR FALLS! A LETTER NEVER RECEIVED, A MESSAGE FROM A FRIEND; SHE REFUSES TO BELIEVE! SHE CAN’T STOP CRYING! A KISS, THE LAST… HIS DAY HAS COME! BEFORE BED SHE KNEELS AND SHE PRAYS… “REASSURE HIM I WILL COME HOME!!”
