Down in the mud, holding it tight <br />The only thing left, that gives me life <br />Tears role down my hard beaten face <br />Wish I was not in this forsaken place <br />Holding your picture, wishing your presence <br />Close my eyes to smell your incense <br />Only a crackle in the near sky <br />Awakens me of my lullaby <br />Attack Attack is all I hear know <br />Soldiers running up and down <br />Confusion, lost is all I feel <br />But thankful to god to see your not here <br />My love is safe back at home <br />Waiting for me to come along <br />But my love o love <br />I am not coming home <br />For I lay holding my wound and the picture of you <br />Knowing you love me is all I need <br />To continue my life in prosperity <br />Sorry if I ever caused you pain <br />Sadness, hate, what ever you claimed <br />Im sorry, forgive me is all I ask <br />To look at the future, and forget the past <br />O I wish I was there <br />Holding you close <br />Feeling so fair <br />But this the last time in this life of me <br />Ill be with you for eternity <br />I made a vow that shall never be broken <br />To stay with you if I wasn’t mistaken <br />My spirit shall be with you always <br />Never will I leave until we are taken <br />I wait for you to see you in heaven <br />My heart grieves knowing I won’t see you soon <br />But my spirit shall always be there to guide you threw <br />Do not cry over my passing <br />I fought for my country <br />But most i fought for your ever lasting <br />I fought and died for you my love <br />But when you feel this and sense my way <br />Tell my baby girl her daddy fought well today<br /><br />Peter Salgado<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-soldiers-spirit/
