PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm sitting here writing this to you

Thanking you for all you do.

I may not know very much

But I'm grateful for such.



Here I sit, so comfy in my chair

And there you sit, so far over there.

As I lay down and sleep at night

You're up far beyond first light.



I grab my coffee and my bagel too

Not yet thinking of you.

As I go to my job

My head begins to throb.



Through my next mug, and lunch

Still not thinking of you a whole bunch.

My afternoon passes with a sigh

The evening approaches by and by.



The eleven o'clock news is on and over

Last time out for little Rover.

Now's the time to think of you

Thinking and praying is all I do.



So far away from all you love

Missing out on ball and glove.

Missing that amazing tea party

No homemade stew, warm and hearty.



Birthday parties and graduation best

Missing the little home nest.

Happiness, joy and sadness too

All try to be conveyed to you.



Phone calls and letters galore

Care package contents cover the floor.

A bunch of people thinking of you

Mostly family its true.



Here I am, so late this night

Trying to put this all right.

To think of you not once or twice

But whenever I say or think anything nice.



I just thought you might want to know

What we might not be able to show.

Our deep thanks and gratitude

To an American Soldier such as you.
