He leaves home just like every morning,
Except this time he’ll be gone for a few
He has no choice but to abandon everything he once knew…
He’s off to fight a war, looking for peace.
Now today, Easter dinner will have one less seat.
His family is missing him the most
While he’s clear across the coast.
The love they share
And how much they care
Is not forgotten
Because today…
This solider misses you

>i wrote this poem for my cousin, its about her dad being in Iraq for three months.

Very nice piece of poetry. Enjoyed.
I hope all of the soldiers come home soon.

This very beautiful Censored.
I'm sure there were a lot of empty chairs
today.
Thank-you for sharing, welcome to Passions.
