I just joined National Blog Posting Month. It's not like NaNoWriMo in that there is no specific month in which it is done. This month, the theme is hereos.
I'd like to start off with a poem based on an unfinished poem that I found in my desk recently. Of course I promptly lost it again. :-) So, I'm going to write a new one now.
This is for all our troops abroad.
You Don't Know Me
You don't know me.
You stand in line for your new clothes
a uniform you will wear with your unit
You don't know me.
What do you think as they issue your gun?
Do you think of Dying? Killing?
You don't know me.
Your family sits home and worries
tears no cloth can dry
You don't know me.
But I know who you are
I think of you every day
My heart aches and my tears flow
I know what you do is for me
You are my Hero.
