Part 2-Inerasable Heart Poem by Joseph Blitch

Freedom fighting while feeling so alone,
While she was safe with family at home.
Only a poncho to shelter from cold rain.
Nothing here to ease the homesick pain.
In open air we rest through starlit night.
Any moment alert and ready for a fight.
Seeing fright with each incoming round,
A flash, a percussion, a deafening sound.
Continual prayer for safe comfort said,
While many uniformed boys laid dead.
Wishing for quieting of the war’s sound.
Government issued armed men around.
Without a doubt, of one thing I was sure,
By trusting GOD, the battle I did endure.
Who at home cared for wrong or right?
Will government ever see the true light?
Was there anyone my heartache to share?
Unanswered, doth love remain anywhere?
No time for me to think if she still cares.
The same love we shared is it still there?
