Dear Soldier

by Natalie84   Feb 9, 2007


While you're gone away
Defending our freedom
Prayers for you Soldier
Will be sent by the ton

I'll pray to Him each night
That you're safe from all harm
Dear Soldier, I will ask Him
To hold you in His arms

Every morning when I rise
I'll still be thinking of you
And again I will pray
For Him to carry you through

All throughout each day
I'll remember you dear man
For you are the reason
Our country still stands

An angel in disguise
A hero to so many
For it is because of you
That we still walk this journey

I'm standing in your corner
Rooting for you Soldier
And here I will remain
Always and forever

    I am a soldier of the US Army and when I read your poem it put a smile on my face. And given the circumstance thats hard to do. I have three kids of my own and I left them to fight for our freedom and little things like this make it worth it. Thank you for your support and feel free to write me at pvtford15@yahoo.com

    Nothing about our soldiers is cliche! This poem was written for a man that I do not know...I got an email from a co-worker in a nother city that I've never met...it was about him. After the birth of his second baby and missing the first 18 months of his first childs life he finds out he'll miss the first 18 months of his second childs life. His wife decided to make him a book so he knows people are thinking of. I wrote this poem to be placed in his book. A superb thought...at least to me! Sorry you feel it's "CLICHE" - that comment was cliche....The only thing it conjured up in your mind was how you could have done better...and how you have no feelings toward the men and woman who are fighting for YOU!

    This was a wonderful poem about the soldiers in iraq. I loved the way you painted a lovely picture in my mind. It conjured up such lovely images!

    The only thing I would suggest is that you thought of a little less cliche rhymes. It was almost as though I could predict what was going to be said.

    Wonderful write nontheless.
    5/5
