    Poem Commentary

    This write came to me after having a conversation with a woman that lost her husband in war.


    " Send our troops back home."

    My Soldier.

     I can feel the miles
    Stretched out across
    Open roads...

    Across a cold black ocean
    That leads to a hot
    Desert Sun.

    There stands my soldier
    Here is his women
    Waiting for him
    To come back home

    I place a kiss on the letter
    Just before I tuck it away
    Inside those white folded pockets... 
    A picture of my round belly

    Praying that hope gets there on time
    Please handle this package with care...
    Until he's back here safely in my arms

    There Stands my Soldier
    Here cries his women
    Waiting for him
    To come back home

    I hang up the telephone
    Place a tearful kiss on our new born son
    I gave him your first name...

    When he gets older I will keep
    my promise. I will tell him about you,
    his father, My soldier...

    There Stands my soldier
    Up there in heaven
    Down here remains his unrestful woman...

    Trying to carry on without him
