Goodbye,I Love you, Take care. Goodbye, I love you, Take care. These words echo in my ear as I stand there, surrounded by love alone. The love pushed out by others that are here too taking there moments as if they were their last. I stand there like I'm waiting for someone who is running late. Unknowing eyes falling on me like the tears streaming down my silent face as if knowing I was not really waiting for someone. Goodbye, I love you, take care. Words that echo in my ear that I'll never hear from the ones I wished, instead I remain until called. I turn and move out to the plane and climb the steps only to stop half way up and look back .Lost in hope to hear those words. Goodbye, I love you, take care. Envy filling my soul I turn back and fade away into the dark of the door way. I never heard those words I so longed to hear from the lips that love. Instead I travel on without knowing I'm not alone. Welcome to hell my mind tells me. Thanks for the memories. One more moment that shall not be forgotten. Its all over now.. Last words of the lost heart of a soldier...Goodbye, I love you, take care... goodbye. Steven, This poem is very, very good. You have touched a nerve that many soldiers feel. I ask that you consider posting this. Perhaps you can bring these words to another soldier getting ready to board. God bless. Marcus P.S. I have a poem that I wrote and recently posted titled 'A Soldier's Cost'. I would deeply appreciate any insight on this from you guys. Thanks.

Re: Military Poets?I found one here, |
If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
