I LOVE A SOLDIER
I love a soldier
With all of my heart.
I see him almost never;
We are always apart.
We may not be together
but love does not give in.
To let something like this go
would be such a sin.
He is courageous and
He is a man,
Protecting his country
as best as he can.
The last time I saw him?
Seven months past.
But I feel his love for me
and know it will last.
Perhaps there will be peace;
Perhaps there will not.
I hold on to hope;
It's all that I've got.
My love for him grows.
It gets stronger each day.
The distance between us
can't hold it at bay.
He calls;
I write.
We both hold on
with all of our might.
I cry often,
I will not lie.
Sometimes smiling is hard,
But I sure do try.
I love.
I hope.
I dream.
I cope.
His heart is strong;
His feelings are true.
He loves me and
I love him too.
Yes, I love a soldier
and though we are apart,
We're always together--
Together at heart
