The Prospect Of War Poem by Audrey Heller

How hard it is to say goodbye, you
linger as long as you can. It's the
mere uncertainty of it all, it was
never part of your plan. So many
thoughts race through your mind,
making it hard to concentrate. You
know how rough it's going to be,
especially, without your mate. Who
would have ever thought this would
happen? We've been through this
so many times before. It's not easy
to digest, to send your man, off to
war. Will there ever be a time, where
we can live in peace and harmony,
feel secure and know the feeling of
being free? The tensions we carry,
makes it hard to bare. All we can do
right now, is hope that God is listening,
to our prayer!
