I confess: I didn't read this until Lee Anne also pointed it out (giving due credit to you, of course) but added the words: "It must be read by as many people as possible."
She left out the word: "poem". Sometimes (and I really hate to say this) I just don't make the time for a "poem". . . .
But somehow, this wasn't a poem, it was life - raw, bloody, but breathing (and crying). Strong - wierdly. Very powerful.
I think I've read too much rhymey shit that calls itself poetry and have gotten confused. Clearly, I needed a bit of a slap.
When a soldier is packing up for a mission, he is often instructed to leave all non-essential equipment behind. This includes a soldier's family.
Who am I? I'm a military wife, FRG leader, mother, writer and all around misfit.
