My family sleeps in the night,
While I stand guard,

A soldier in battle,
I am reminded of today.

Although you misspelled soldier (unless that was intended), I thought this was an interesting piece. Nice parallel with the child and the soldier. I also liked the interplay with time.

Thanks,
Brad

i like this, but i do have one question whose answer will add greatly to my understanding of the poem: when you say you are reminded, do you mean of A battle, or that you remind yourself of a soldier, or that you are reminded of today as it is a special occasion.  i like the brevity in this poem, but just for my simple mind, i need a little more added on for understanding.

Nice, yet somewhat ambiguous.

Note: I mispelled "breif" just so brad could point it out.  ha ha
