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 !

Love endures even in extreme situations, your poem evokes. I do believe that hope transcends defeat G.W...ab

Your belief sure is better than 'defeat transcending 'hope,' Anselmo!
