Another day down!

In my high school AP English class we did a section on poetry.  It has always been easy for me to explain myself in poems, so I thought that would be a good way to convey my feelings through this deployment.  Some will rhyme and some will not....I will explore the world of poetry and do all different types.  I decided to start with the simple rhyming poem...the easiest ones to write. I hope you enjoy!

In Love With a Soldier

I may be young and you might not understand,

But my love for this boy was not really planned.

It takes someone special to win your heart over,

I was never lucky until I found him, my four leaf clover.

People ask why I go through with it and make myself stressed,

That is not how I see it, I think of myself as blessed.

I am in love with a United States Soldier, who has gone to war,

When will I hear from him again…that I am unsure?

Goodbye is forever, and our goodbye is not,

I will love him forever; in my heart he will always have a spot.

I go to bed at night hoping he is okay,

Hoping he is safe each and every day. 

If I have one word of advice to all of you reading this,

It’s never to take granted one hug or one kiss.

Realize the time you have with your loved ones is special,

Because honestly you never realize what you have until it’s gone.
