a solider travels far from home,
he walks away from all thats known.
such a tough man showing no fear,
but still a little boy sheding a tear.
thinking of his sisters home in bed,
every night they pray they dont find him dead.
remembering times with a girl held close,
hes the one she thinks of most.
a worried mom cries at night,
wanting to hold her baby boy tight.
left behind clothes with an empty bed,
ill miss you all is what he said.
a lonely puppy howls at the moon,
his master had left him all to soon.
lots of friends with tears in eyes,
remembering thoughts of last goodbyes.
thoughts of these people he holds on tight,
and that is the reason he will stand up and fight.
i want to join the army next year and i know the risks im taking andi know i might be leaving people i love and never see them again , so i wrote a poem directed at the problem i face

It's a very touching poem...It made myself, and my brother(3 time veteran in Iraq) cry...Very well written. Good luck with your quest into the military!
