As he looked up to the heavenly sky <br />Through a mist of gun shell smoke, <br />A tiny light with rays so bright <br />Brought a glimmer of hope. <br /> <br />Through the light he saw his loved ones <br />His children joyfully playing <br />And in the shadows of candlelight <br />He saw their mother praying. <br /> <br />He heard her voice, so sweet the sound <br />Praying to god above, <br />Please keep my husband safe dear Lord <br />Give him all my love. <br /> <br />Don't let him suffer and perish <br />In that land he dose not know, <br />Bring him safely back dear Lord <br />Because we love him so. <br /> <br />He looked back through the gun shell smoke <br />Up to heaven above, <br />He asked the Lord to hold her tight <br />And give her all his love. <br /> <br />He knew her prayer was all in vain <br />As he lay in tears of blood and pain, <br />Dear Lord he whispered with one last sigh <br />Please tell me this, tell me why?<br /><br />wendy. thopliss<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-soldier-s-thoughts-2/
