I just got word your not coming home
Now once again I'll be all alone
Christmas comes but once a year
And next year is my biggest fear
You will be over seas and fighting a war
And I will be here waiting for my heart to get ripped and torn
I miss you more and more
And there is nothing i can do to make it better
You joined the Army for a good cause
Yet they cant let you home for fear of pause
I have never needed anyone more than i need you
And here i am sitting wondering if you will make it or not
The weather may be bad
The world could blow up
The war could go on
People will die
Life will go on
I can sit here and cry
But it wont matter
There is nothing that can bring you home safely
So you need to know....
That no matter what i will still love you.
My heart is yours
My soul is yours
You are my whole life
My whole world
My everything.
I will love you always and forever.

awww, this is so beautiful. but have hope; he'll be back soon and everything will be back to normal so much you won't even remember there was a war in the first place.

While I admire and appreciate the poem, it's no where near what this contest was asking for. I want poems aimed at me, not your mate. Sorry, but this just doesn't fit my contest.

Such a heartfelt and beautiful dedication to your true love. Perhaps this provides a bit of comfort in a foreign land. Thank you for sharing.

I had trouble reading this a bit. The font and picture background didn't work so well together. I had to highlight to read it.
Anywho, the title and poem itself reminded me of the Dixie Chicks' Travelin' Solider. The theme is what I'm getting at.
I wish that I could offer you words of hope to what's you are going through, but since I've never been through this. It wouldn't be right.

Love it!
It's so sad. It really gets across the feeling of hopelessness and helplessness.
