A Soldier,
Says, 'Good Bye'
'Don't Worry,
Daddy, will be home soon.'
A wife and child,
try to go on,
A day doesn't go by,
Without a thought of their soldier.
But the worst has happened,
A knock at the door.
A soldier stands with his head down.
I am sorry to say, but your husband is gone.
A suicide bomber,
is the cause, they said.
Your Husband is a Hero,
But all she hears is he's gone.
A daughter to raise,
all on her own.
A child on the way,
That soldier will never know.
That Soldier is a hero to us,
But at home he is...
A brother, A son, A husband, A father, & A friend,
That Soldier has a name, Eugene Williams.
Author notes
I wrote this in memroy of a highschool friend. "Gene" was a wonderful person. I hope that this puts a message that every soldier has another side. Our hero, is God's Son, who gave the ultimate sacrifice, his life to save others. Say a prayer for all of our troops tonight, and every night until they return home safely....

Amazingly well written from the heart.
This is a great, moving poem Staci. I am a vet, from another time, another place, and your tender feelings come through this war toughened heart. Don't want to get personal, but if this warrior is yours, please accept my heartfelt condolences.
