    SOLDIER'S REMORSE

    Crying for others
    Fathers and brothers
    Strong in mind
    Yet seeing behind
    Knowing what's right
    Regretting the might
    Seeing the toll
    Hating your soul

    Continue to be driven
    and know you are forgiven.

    A gently done work that decribes the feelings that those called to serve feel as they look back at past deeds.

    Based on something a friend once confided. No matter how hard I tried, I was unable to find any more words to make it more....I'm touched you can appreciate it.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
