This morning's passed so peacefully this morning
the time has come, I must be on my way
I only hope that when the fightings over
I'll be able to return to you one day
A long time since you kissed me with such passion
it makes me feel I'd really like to stay
we'll let the kids sleep on but when they waken
don't say I'm off to war just gone away
If the longing nights will make you sad and lonely
look up into the sky and you'll be saved
in the heavens there's a star with my name on it
if we gaze at it then contact will be made
So brush away the tears that fill your eyes now
don't cry sweetheart I must be on my way
in the heavens there's a star with my name on it
if we gaze at it then contact will be made.
Often, I think about men and war through the centuries, all of the loss and all of the stories we don't know. This poem brings out the truth that a good love CAN carry on through hardship... Thanks for the beautiful moment. Esther
The closeness of such a loving family during the midst of war. A star symbolizing a heavenly connection. Wonderful writing from a wonderful poet. Love Duncan

The true poet must be willing to give himself away in words. How generously you have done this in your beautiful poem. I am sure there will always be a star with your name on it, Charles. Kindest regards, Sandra
