For a Soldier

Surrounded by people.  So alone.

Distance separates us but their voices are farther.

I smile and nod at them,

but its just a defense.

Protection from questions.

Can't wait to talk to you again.

I wonder how you are doing,  so far from me.

I feel so weak,

thoughts of you strengthen and break me at the same time.

My heart hurts but I go on.

Knowing we can see each other again.

Just stay safe and come back home.
