A Soldiers Poem

By: James Abraham Fuller

You look at me with
Those wanting eyes
When I turn away
You start to cry

I turn back to
Hold you tight
I tell you I love you
Then I go catch my flight

Now I'm far away
How I wish I was near
I miss you every day
While I tremble with fear

Now I lie here
Waiting to die
I wish I had one last time
To say I love you. Good-bye....
