The grass sways,
Back and forth.
Upon the stretching lawn.
The children laugh as they play,
A memorial to the living.
I must leave as I said I would.
Maybe I'll return.
I know now that this endless time,
Will go on with out me.
But still I wonder will I survive.
To see your beautiful face once more?
I know that I can't hold you now,
That seems to kill me.
A promise means nothing if you have no control.
So I can say what I feel.
If this road leads to death,
At least I have accomplished all that I planned.
Still somehow I don't think I will leave forever.
There is this feeeling deep down inside me,
That say i will come back.
Will it prove to be true?
I don't know.
How can I?
The future is not mine to tell.
But forever I will always love you.
That at least won't change.
With me saying this,
I am being sincere.
I promise I will always hold dear,
The feelings I have and the happiness we share.
So goodbye for now.
Only time will tell if i return.
Please tell me what you think

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
My son you have a healthy fear - for that will be your instincts coming through to give you a heightened awareness.
In Psalms 37 you'll find the phrase "fret not" 3 x's it also is one to think on to break the arrow of your enemy and return the arrows back from whence they come. In our day it will have a new weapons meaning - but it's certainly one to cling to!
I'm so very proud of you & wonder if somehow when we chose each other that you were a blessing more to me than I to you.
You see I've already known the loss of a son and the awful pain that it can have. That doesn't give me absolute comfort - but I'll have you in my prayers and long always for your safe return.
This is such a huge step for you - I also currently have a niece and nephew in the service they have both done tours of duty and my nephew has been in Iraq twice before. Beware of the sand it's nasty! Thousands of years of camels and God knows what!
I love you son!
God be with you & keep you & know you have angels too at your command!
♥
love,
Dad

Dear Greson,
My real life sister, catz, told me you wrote this and that you are getting ready to leave for Iraq. I am so sorry about that. I wish I could change it..none of our young citizens should have to go away to war like this but you will be fine..None of know what the future holds for us but keep writing your feelings and I will look for you again soon.
I would like to add you as a favorite so when you post another poem I will know about it...Thanks you for all you are doing for us. Darlene

My dear son, your poem is understandably both sad and hopeful and my heart goes out to you. You know that. I also see your faith shining through it all. Keep a firm grasp on that faith and hope, for it will carry you through the rough times ahead of you.
You stand tall among men and I'm as proud of you as if you were my own real life son.
Your poem seems to be directed to a girlfriend. I hope she reads it
You've expressed the natural fear and anticipation of going off to war. It's a cruel thing, war, but you will do well, my dear. My prayers are with you always.
Stay safe and remember how much I care about youYou're a good son... and by the time you return the pool will be ready and waiting for a thorough cleaning 
Much love and big
Mom
