The Letter Of A Student Soldier Poem by Kinsley Lee

The Letter Of A Student Soldier

Rating: 5.0


In the darkness, the boy wrote upon the paper, letter by letter,
He hid even the tears and captured them within, thinking of his mother.
Unable to send it, his heart is filled with blooming crimson longing,
In the smoke of gunpowder, the shouting of the boy, it still like lingering.
