SOLDIER BOY
I know they called
You have a job to do
I have to step aside
Remember my love for you
I look through the glass
With rain and tear drops mixed
I watch for the man to walk
I keep my face so fixed
You see I received a letter
Telling me there was news
I couldn’t help feel the flutter
In my heart as it turned blue
No more smiles on my face
As he read the letter out loud
The news of you missing
From deep within the crowd
I will forever cling to hope
Watching out the door
Although others try to remind me
That you are for never more.

Who I am 
How sad . . . this type of news always gets me. Reminds me of Sandra Bullock’s face in Premonition when she received the news that her husband was dead. I always see the face . . .

That was an excellent movie. I realize it is a sad poem, but sometimes I write what isn’t happy and life is so real; it includes all emotions. Hugs my friend

But you know what, like lyrics in songs, most of all poetry is sad or somewhat depressing . . . imagine how boring it would be if every single lyric or line is happy happy happy. It’s just not the world. Hugs!!
