Letter To A Mentally Stranded Soldier
Hold on, my boy. You will be home soon.
You don't have to get ready for anything.
You are doing a very important job, my son
This town's favorite son, you will come home.
Olivia is praying for you, we all are
And Annie, she looks so beautiful,
As you know, she just turned ten months.
Her first word was "daddy," and she
Said it when she saw a picture of you
On the mantel.
Matt, everything you do means
Everything, for someone.
Hold on and you will be fine
Keep your brothers close
Stay protected, and you'll
Be home soon.
I am picking up the paper as we...
The headline is of a dead soldier
I am going catatonic.
The picture is of...you.

Thank you for entering my contest and good luck!
