This is a poem i wrote about a soldier, I'll be posting the sequel to it immediately afterwards so please read both and tell me what you think!
I fought through hell
I fought through fire
I fought for years
and did not tire
And now at last
i've made it back
to claim the things
in life i lack!.
Alas the street
i used to know
is boarded up
and sunk in snow
The house that once
was my domain,
a tattered symbol
of my pain!.
It took me years
to track you down
a thousand names
a thousand towns
and here at last
i find you wed
a daughter, son,
my words unsaid!.
I left you once
to shield your eyes
and save you from
their pain and lies
and now my gun
my only friend!.
it seems a fitting
way to end
War has stole
away my wife
and now at last
it claims my lifeWww@QuestionHome@Com
