Hi, swftfox,
This is really moving. For me, it is a tear jerker. I pray for your son and the other troops, too. Thanks for sharing this. :)

Swiftfox,
Your poem touched my heart and moved me very much, and I pray for your son and his unit's safe and speedy return. Soldiers past are in my thoughts and prayers always, but especially this weekend. I used to sell poppies for the American Legion, when I was kid and my grandfather was alive, a WWI veteran. God bless and keep them all safe.
BTW, speaking of combat poetry, have you read any Wilfred Owen's poetry. He was a WWI English soldier, who wrote a poem called "Dulce Et Decorum Est" and others about his service. Some things are easiest spoken of in the language of poetry, which speaks from the heart.
