She writes here letter back home <br />From a land far far away <br />Writing to her lover <br />She hopes to reunite with someday <br /> <br />She's in the land of many sands <br />And, oh so many dunes <br />As she goes to sleep each night <br />She hums their wedding tunes <br /> <br />She's a nurse in the army <br />Sometimes laying dead ones to rest <br />But, each night as she prays <br />She holds his picture to her chest <br /> <br />She's doing all she can <br />To keep her homeland free <br />They need all of our support <br />From the likes of you and me <br /> <br />She hopes to be home by Christmas <br />That's her same wish each year <br />But, the war lingers right on <br />And each Christmas she sheads her tears <br /> <br />She deserves all of our respect <br />For all that she has done <br />She's patched up a many of soldiers up <br />To come home and see their sons <br /> <br />This my hats off salute <br />To those behind the lines <br />And they all deserve our respect <br />Both yours as well as mine <br /> <br />wrote 12/3/2009 by Norman Hale Jr.<br /><br />norman hale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-army-nurse/
