My Last Time Poem by Jessie Marie Ray

I only have one fear in life
And that’s not being able to see my wife
One day I had to go to war
I don’t know what I had to go for
So I find my self surrounded by blood
Of all my fallen comrades who lay in the mud
I knew that soon I would die too
And there was nothing that I could do
I closed my eyes and silently started to cry
Then I said my good byes
I heard foot steps around me
I looked around to see
The faces that would end my life
And who would also hurt my wife
Its time to go it’s my time
The bullet hit my head just as my bell chimed its last chime
