"An American Soldier"
If you can, save a place within your heart for the tired souls of war and conflict and as you walk away take one last backward glance at the places they can no longer go.
Remember what they have taught you and take their knowledge and wisdom with you so their deaths were not in vain.
One day when we all look back and realize what they sacrificed, take a moment to embrace in your heart all those gentle heroes that were left behind on the battlefields fighting for their country.
Let them know that you have always loved them even though you may not have.
Forever save a place in your hearts for them.
A young soldier once remarked:We did not go because we are soldiers; we went because we are AMERICANS

"Another lonely day"
The moment I awake the same hope begins The hope for a call or a letter And even though I still have several months to wait There's always the miraculous hope of hearing "Beautifull I'm finally coming home" And with that another lonely day begins
The mornings are difficult Even while getting dressed My eyes begin to tear As I'm looking at my soldiers faded jeans Hanging next to his army green
My car rides are quite and lonely While memories race through my head Remembering all the fun we had Yes the days are hard When you don't have your soldier by your side
But it's the nights that shattter your heart And make you cry As I lay in bed i reach out my hand To caress where u laid And let our memories take me away That's when loneliness starts piercing And has its way My heart pounds so rough Causing it to ache And with every throb my chest explodes with pain Suffocating all the strength left in me My stomach feels brutally stabbed and beat From the agonizing pain of emptiness My soul bleeds in torment As it seeks for your delicate touch Burning tears run down my face While I clench your pillow And bury my face Wishing I can feel your embrace Soon tears run dry And I quietely sigh Telling myself to hold strong Because my love misses me just as much
Be brave and don't give in Soon this will all be a nightmare That my love will kiss away
