With these times being what they are,
Many still fighting from afar

All soldiers can relate,
Try to escape from the hate

Pray to God to set them free,
Home is where they want to be

To loved ones arms they crave,
But for now they must be brave

The war rages on for many a day,
And home is so, so far away

Bags so needed fall from plane,
With letters from home to keep them sane

So the soldier says "Please write to me!"
And for a short while, he's Home, he's Free!

Nocturnal pulse - Thanks for the inspiration!

Passing Shadows and Amaryllis - thanks for reading my poems. Letters from home give them hope. And you are right freedom is not free.

It can be easy to take for granted what those connection mean..to those who serve so far from home and in harms way...

very nicely done ...

A soldier`s life is a lonely one and a letter does bring them comfort. You did something nice with this poem and you should be proud of yourself.

Yes, drop letters not bombs.

We can't do enough for our heroes afar.

Wonderfully put!
