Wipe The Tears From Our Eyes

I know these times are hard and no words can really heal,
The pain of loss of a loved one;it's a feeling that we feel.
Though we lost a soldier in the army of the Lord,
What God has in store is a much bigger award.
She stayed strong in the spirit despite what the world can entice,
So she receives God's Medal of Honor which is Eternal Life.
I know you want to cry, but wipe the tears from your face,
Cause in our hearts we all know that she's in a better place.
Just remember all the good times and keep them logged into your mind,
So if you're looking for a reason to smile,those thoughts won't be hard to find.
We all have our future in which God has already written,
And that's the scroll of our hearts; the reason why we are living.
Every day is a step closer to our final resting place,
Leading to the day at the gates when we finally see His face.
When He opens up that book; I'm knowing and believing we will find,
Our names written and encrypted along that dotted line.
And as we finish out eternity in the heavens above the skies,
We will still remember our beloved friend,  and "Wipe The Tears From Our Eyes."

Vic, this is a wonderful poem. What a terrific tribute to a fallen friend. This war is really taking it's toll. I appreciate the ultimate sacrifice that so many are making but have a difficult time in agreeing with the cause. The middle east and Pakistan are so screwed up, and have been for so long, it doesn't make sense to me why America continues to fight there. It is no win situation. I hear your pain and that of others. I live in a small community outside Annapolis, Maryland. We lost a young man about a year ago, who had grown up in here. He was only 21. I have several poems you should read. I would really like your opinion. I will PM them to you. Great write my freind. You do so with much emotion. That's a sign of good poet. Thanks for sharing.... K

This is a very lovely piece. Full of faith that I currently don't possess. I am in a battle with it. Pray for me that I find my way.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
