“The man who smiles when things go wrong, has thought of someone to blame it on.”

Im sorry to make you cry, honestly.
But I am glad that my work did evoke emotion ^.^
many people dont realize the stress that the ones we leave behind have to endure. this poem was just to show my appreciation to the ones who stand by me.

Even soldiers cry.


A young man packs his bags,
it's almost time to go.
A young girl curls up crying,
but, he'll never know...

He checks over his equipment
everything's in place.
She's staring, at his picture
while mascara runs down her face.

Walking towards the door,
a bible, lies in sight
several words,
and solemn prayers
the youngman does recite.

The young girl heard a noise,
someone at her door,
the young man left a letter,
a letter, nothing more...

The young girl tore it open,
Tears, soon filled her eyes,
for inside, this little letter said
'even soliders cry'

And I can't believe how quickly everyone responds and replies to posts o_O

thank you all for such a warm welcome! if everyone on this site is like this, then I feel I will be staying for a while!

Hello, Im new, and this is my first time trying the whole internet thing, aside form myspace. Being stationed overseas makes it harder to make friends and or date because of language and cultural barriers. But Id like to wish you all the happiest of holidays, and I hope I get to meet many new and interesting people!
