My Little Soldier II

by Hellon   Jun 17, 2013


The fire has died
to embers now
and still...
there is no
phone call.

I stayed with you little soldier
for as long and I could

but...tonight

only mummy and daddy
are allowed.

I love you
little man..stay safe for nenny
Love you XXOOOXXX

* Edit...

The phone call finally came

and...

it wasn't good news
you have been admitted to hospital
with your arm bandaged
hiding
the tubes that will feed you
tonight

tonight...once again I had to leave you
but...little soldier..you are going to be
a warrior one day
just like the one's in Nenny's stories
this I promise you....

    I've been slacking on reading/commenting poems lately, but this title caught my attention, and reading this brought tears to my eyes. There are really no words, but your family is in my thoughts. <3
