Tucked Into His Heart

Across uneven terrain
  tightrope-walking
narrow mountain passes
  dodging sniper fire

He carries her picture
  tucked into his heart
From that wrinkled photo
  his thoughts ne'er depart

War is hell, Gershon. Especially unnecessary war. Touching poem, very timely. My prayers are with those willing to risk everything for freedom and democracy. I hope we're not headed into war here in the U.S.A. (civil war). A poet friend in Texas, Bill

This is a pathetic picture of the war victims who have lost their dear ones.... but whose memory they hold dear to heart. Life is a tight rope walk and love alone motivates us to move forward....Touching write !
