WE FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
AND SOMEONE HAD TO DIE SO
I TOOK AND GOT DRESSED INTO YOUR UNIFORM
AND I WENT OFF TO FIGHT INTO THE WAR
IN YOUR PLACE BECAUSE IT WAS ALL
MOST TO LATE FOR YOUR REQEST
SO YOU COULDN'T STOP ME BECAUSE
I D HAD ALL READY CHOSEN MY FATE
THE DOUBLE EDGE SWORD WAS MEANT FOR YOU
BUT I TOOK IT FOR YOU BECAUSE I
DEEPLY LOVED YOU DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF MY ENdLESS SOUL .
* this poem is all mine *
Nicely writen !! I can see how you linked your inspiration to your poem. Life is an endless war and we will go through misery as well as pain. I feel your pain because I have been there. Keep up the writing.
This poem I think would/will have a huge effect on a lot of people, for many loved ones are over in Iraq and many loved ones are leaving to go there. I applaud you for writing this even with the pain and sorrows you are experiencing.
