Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Written after my brother received alert orders for deployment. My heart said, No...not again... THOSE OF A SOLDIER They are not here, they are away, "God, keep them safe." Each day we pray. Mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, Have turned and kissed their beloved ones. "Good-bye!" they wave "So-long!" they say And we ask to keep them safe that day. These losses overwhelming Our chests heavy with pain We must be strong or so they say So as not to let Hate get it's way! No face No uniform No parallel to cross, Fight whom? and how? We are at a loss. Trained to fight for Freedom's sake We fight Hate, which has no face. It cowers in the soul and preempts Grace. United we stand, Our colors now blend... Into ONE of LIBERTY to defend our land. They are now gone They are not here One sits and stares With loneliness to bear. They left us this morning with a kiss and hug good-bye No hand now to hold, so we sit and cry. Good Lord, bring them home, please don't let them die! They are not home, they are away So we keep our proud vigil...and pray they return. ----------- Daughter of a WWII veteran Bride of a Vietnam veteran Sister of a Gulf War veteran and patriot Christine Dybas Polodna Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
