A Soldier’s Love Letter
By Nathaniel Spears
My heavenly father
My beautiful kids
And 4 you
My love will never end
Everyday being away from u is hard
Even harder than watching the deaths
Of innocent kids in wars
It’s hard 2 find true love
True love is what we got
True love is you and me
True love is all I got!
When I return home
My life with you
I want 2 spend
After writing this letter
The soldier died
In a roadside bomb blast
His love survived
This letter
Is proof
When you love someone
That love
Will find a way
To reach you.
Realistic thoughts of a soldier’s letter to his loved ones and interesting use of the letters and numbers sprinkled throughout. I wish I had formally introduced my self to you instead of in the class. You’re such a talented poet.
