The Soldier

Families left behind for families abroad.
Leaving one to aid another.
Sad goodbyes and tears are shed
For duty calls.

A soldier sacrifices.

Days are spent in unfamiliar land,
Far from where their heart lies.
Facing danger where they stand
Because duty calls.

A soldier sacrifices.

And sometimes they sacrifice it all.

New Adventure For Me

I just created this blog but have nothing to put in it at the moment.  I've often written poetry or "truisms", as I liked to call them, but never even filed them as such.  I like my own poetry, always writing what spills from my soul and I hope someone might read it and like it, too.

Stay tuned.
