Dear Diary.... How come you got so big. I remember when I first started you; I was just a fish in the sea (or maybe a speck of dust in God's hands, it was such a long time ago!) And now look at you.
I am a soldier, A soldier at heart, And I will always be. I am a soldier, The kind who won't forget How my comrades Stood beside me Until the end.
That's all I can hear, just silence. I wish I wanted to sleep. But I don't so I might as well enjoy the silence... Well, silence is quiet, I'll give it that. And this is a good opportunity to write...
When I die, place me in a coffin with my medals on my chest. Before I die, tell my mother not to lose sleep over me. When I'm away, tell my kids to be good and do what their mother says.
I have decided to post this poem to raise awareness of the soldiers away fighting to keep our countries free.
