The poem is so touching in so many ways! I know how feeling alone and not knowing why things are going on feels like. I had one person in this crazy world who i could tell everything to and when he died my life has spiraled downwards and i dont know what i did for it to happen. Just like the war in a way that the troops should be out by now and the fight isnt really for justice but because of politics. Amazing poem Daniel. God bless you.

What a wonderful poem. Thank you for all that you have done and supporting our country. God Bless you!

I love this poem...god bless you

that was wonderful. love how you ended it!

Hmmm. The sentiment behind this is daring in that you speak of it at all. I know that forming the words to analyze such events when you are in the thick is probably very difficult. I only want to suggest to cut out the rhyme and the flow and rhythm mat even out so the raw emotion of the time can flow freely. Just a suggestion. Take care Joy

Here's wishing that you have the opportunity to come home sonn...be safe. Hugs, Dee

a good poem - make it great with time. i rewrite my poems endlessly until each word is exactly perfect. one of my limericks (woman who wasnt) took over ten years to finish because i couldnt think of the third rhyme (dozens) it will be interesting to see this poem again in six weeks. thank you for making such a sacrifice for me. i do honor the freedom you and yours afford me. all politics aside, some of us realize you are the ones who really make this country great for all of us. stay safe. peace&love in jesus name, k

Danny, thanks for commenting on my poem 'Artist and war' Reading this poem I can see your wisdom coming through. War does bring out the inner man, don't you think?

I gave it a 10. It was really good.
