Heart of a Daddy, Soul of a Soldier

A young boy, just out of high school,
went to a man in an army suit.
Phonecalls sound iminant, and oh so far apart,
sending love from the Middle East,
using tears and heart.
Then there was this one,
just 2 short minutes long,
the end of a soldier singing its song.
A very loved Daddy,
and a man newly wed,
was in a roadside bomb,
and pronounced to be dead.
His little boy will never know why his daddy is gone and the world is so cold,
leaving his boy just 6 months old.
Leaving a wife broken and a mother torn to bits,
all he was full of was life, love and wits.
He thinks up in heaven how he couldn't say goodbye, he wished he could call,
his wife knew him well, his son not at all.
The church gives support,
the town gives them heart,
but none can replace his life of love and art.
Why he was chosen, the world will never know....
He is missed much and loved so,
but from our hearts he will not go.

Very lovely and heart felt write.

I speak insanity. I write fantasy. I sleep reality.
