Loneliness
The mortars I can get used to
I’ve looked them in the eye
The convoys are still eerie
When they’re done I take a sigh
The dirt, the dust, the heat
Remind me I’m not there
It’s this loneliness that I can’t shake
Until I’m once more in you care
So send your letters and your e-mail
Be there when I call
Send a package and some pictures
To lift me from this fall
Author notes

Charlie this is so sad, I wish there was something I could do to help ease your loneliness. I pray that things will get better over there so Iraq may soon stand on her own and you all may come home. Stay Safe! -

This was so very heartfelt. I do feel for you and what you must face there. How long have you been there? It is a wonderful thing you do. I read your authors page. I commend you for being there when you don't have to be.
