I live with a fear that most will never know. <br />The fear that one day soon, <br />I will have to let my soldier go. <br />Where will I be when I get that dreaded call? <br />I pray to God, please, <br />don't let his name end up on that wall. <br />How long will I have to wait <br />for him to come back to me? <br />How many nights, <br />will I stare at that empty space next to me, <br />the space where he should be. <br />But he is a soldier. <br />He's given me his heart and he's become my world. <br />If he must go I will hide my tears with a smile, <br />tell him I love him and will see him in awhile. <br />He will be far from me, <br />but never far from my heart, <br />We have a love not even a war can tear apart. <br />He is my soldier, <br />the love of my life, <br />hopefully one day I will be his proud wife. <br />If he should be called to duty <br />I will wait for him standing tall, <br />for he is my soldier, my hero.<br /><br />charity howard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-s-my-hero-he-s-my-soldier/
