    A little bit of poetry

    Just a little poetry I wrote a few years back when the war started. I was thinking about all the Mothers and fathers and lovers who sent their boys off to war. God bless all our brave soldiers....Lori
    The Boy Soldier


    I cannot seem to breathe
    With so much space between us
    The air calm and quiet
    Only my fear to fill the emptiness

    The wind blows at my back
    But I cannot feel the breeze
    I thought you made a promise
    That you would never leave

    Now I'm left to wonder
    If the sun continues to rise
    The war has taken away all
    That should have been mine

    I think of you alone
    Though soldiers stand at your side
    Planning the next maneuver
    Witnesses to your pride

    For all the sons and fathers
    And brothers who have died
    The war remains a story
    Yet to be justified

    I waken every morning
    Wondering if you are awake
    Or are you a mere memory
    Footsteps in the wake

    Have they taught you to be strong
    But in your sleep you cry
    For all those you have lost
    Too soon to say goodbye

    Can you hear the bombs around you
    As they burst in the night air
    Does it ever make you scared
    Do you even care

    Can you feel the love around you
    Do you see our flag wave proud
    In the home you call your country
    Do the memories ring loud

    Do you understand the meaning
    The reason why we fight
    Did they tell you it was for a cause
    Will it ever make it right

    The ruins of those dictated
    By a cowardly evil soul
    Raise hands against the visiousness
    To make their country whole

    Do you ever think about me
    Do you remember the last kiss
    Is there comfort in your fight for peace
    Or is it peace that you miss

    The future of a young boy soldier
    So promising, yet unknown
    The soldier will become a man
    Before he has fully grown

    The bravest of the souls
    To conquer the faces of terror
    A courage shining brighter than
    All the medals that you wear

    All the mothers who will thank God
    For the soldiers who saved their child
    The daddies who will hold their little hands
    And see their mamas smile

    The loved ones who are left behind
    Will warm you with embrace
    The arms longing to hold you
    And pray to keep you safe

    A mother who sent her little boy
    Off to a bitter land
    Forever holding her arms open
    For her boy who became a man
