Soldier Boy

He writes to me everyday, in his own special way. This may be the last letter I send for a while, as I start to cry.

He tells me of his love, and ask to pray for his safety to the lord above. Tell mom I miss her, and I hope to see her soon.

Benn married only a year, a love like my soldier boy comes once in a lifetime, no my poem may not rhyme, but for my soldier boy I take the time.

Fighting everyday for me and our family. He tells me, that the only thing helping him through his misery, is my sweet smile.

I go to sleep every night, and the things I dream of give me terrible fright. I see men and woman lying dead in pool of blood soaked in the mud.

I pray everyday for my soldier boy, and the many other men and woman, to come home safe to there family's.

My soldier boy I love, I will scream it always to the heavens above.
