* Double Edged Sword *

             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.
