A soldier's diary

 

One day you'll ask me ‘why u left?’

and ‘ I was only three when u left!’

That ‘I was barely three when you left,’

and ‘don't you know how i felt’!

I chose to wear those boots long ago,

Which i am sure you will forgo!

For I wont be with you when you want

To be home often, which I can’t.

But kid, 

I only dream of you and ya’ mom,

and the time we're together home.

I  see little dolls scattered in the house,

The teddy, barbie and the mickey mouse.

The swings you sat in the middle of the park,

I see them clearly when i lie in the dark.

Those tiny suits and shoes you wore,

Wish I was with you for one day more.

But now I shall wear the boots to march again,

for another war is yet to begin!

I want you know- it is for you,

it is for you and only you!
