A Letter To My Love

To My Sweet Love With every new-born child I see I am reminded of your sweet innocence, I am reminded of our unborn child. And with those thoughts the pain seems somewhat mild. The memory of you is all that keeps me sane, From the horrific scenes that run across my brain Perhaps when this war is over we can start again, But things could never be the same. I write to you know a changed man, no longer does my heart pound the rhythm of love Now nothing seems the same, the future so unclear I see the blitzkrieg death take my brothers from above Now all I feel is fear, I just wish that we could be together here Or at least I think so, I’m so alone but that will be over soon......... Oh dear! All is not well, not only in my mind But the same weapons that tore at my soul have now torn and twisted my flesh I leave the you my love so stay behind, sitting their sipping wine But I don’t blame you I just need time, You people, my family my friends! You sent me here to die before this pitiful field and for what? Not for my country but for your pleasure? , It can’t be I lay here petrified, thinking of how you have lied Blind now, to no longer see War has taken the best part of me Heart and soul swallowed whole, but I’m so afraid Not of death but terrified in the knowledge that my family and loved ones sent me here Where will the great lord above send me now, painfully I await in fear My time is decreasing rapidly, my body destroyed savagely How could you do this to me?, I still look up and pray to he He who can save my lost soul. Well my sweet, My mind is now deteriorating as is my body but now I am no-longer afraid! Why because when you too should pass you will forever rot in pits of hellish fire So long my lives desire Give my love to the children!
