In the Army Now

[kishaipanda]

New Job

Hey honey, guess what!

I get to go play soldier

in the desert.

But don’t cry.

I’ll have guns

And armor

And all sorts of fascinating equipment.

No, I don’t believe in this war.

But there’s no other way I could support you

And the kids

Times being what they are.

I’ll be careful

I’ll be safe

Yes, I know I might die.

I dont know what to say...

I'm sorry. I can only imagine how difficult this must be..and I am sure the worry overtakes you. Just know there are people here who think about you..and who will be here for you to vent to if you feel like it.

I loved the poem, and I am glad you posted.
