Soldier

Words Beyond Words

(It's broken into different parts because the scheme changes)

I remember like it was only yesterday

But that was 12 months ago

When I last heard you say...

"Here I go off to the zone"

We all remember saying goobye

And having a party before you left

You told us,"This is for you. Please don't cry."

But once you were gone our faces became wet

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After so long of not hearing your voice

You changed that and called us..

You said,"I know you are praying everynight. I ask that you also pray for my boys"

But all of a sudden we heard you cuss

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then there was a silence..

We saw on the news that an attack took place

We all went quiet to hear the name of the ones who died

And when your names were left unsaid our hearts returned to natural pace

And after lots of hopes and worries

We were told something that made us all crazy

"All of my boys and me are coming home surely"

We all became trapped in a bit of a daze

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now we are just waiting here

Doing the final countdown

You’re all going to be home in only 3 weeks

You don't know how much we are proud..

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation: In the neighborhood I was living in all the boys went into the military and most of the girls did as well (all around the same age). And while they were in the military I wrote this based on the events of what happened.

Author's Note: They all came safely home and are now either working, engaged, moving, doing volunteer work, or just relaxing. I hope you enjoyed reading that or could at least relate to it in someway! Please support our troops~! And don't forget to comment and subscribe!

Peace and Love, BlytheForever12

Chapter 27: For this poem... I just wanted to let you know that taking your life is not going to solve any problems or make any one person more happy. If you think that leaving is going to make one person happy, what about all the other people that actually care for you? You'd hurt them as well... Dying is never the way to solve anything. I hope you feel loved <3 The people that are reading your works are giving it to you. I hope you feel it and get well soon <3

Chapter 32: Hey, I'm a big poetry person, and I've been reading through many of your poems! The themes are great, the writing is amazing, and I'm super happy you've decided to write this sort of story on AFF. Sure, AFF is a site for fanfiction, but in my personal opinion, it's a site for all kinds of writing, for budding writers, and for non-judgemental friendship. Keep up the good work, the poems are great.
