[hometext] => My tour has come to an end, and so I dedicate this poem to all those that have fallen during my year deployment to Afghanistan...The Phantom
[bodytext] => So my tour has come to an end, I made it through...but lost some friends, The memories of early morning attacks, and those convoys of MRAPS, IEDs, and RPGs, small arms fire, and suicide bombers, These things will haunt me the rest of my life, but at least I'm still alive, I have shed my share of tears, as my brothers and sister were carried home this past year, So to say I survived, it was for them, and through me they shall forever live, The names without faces, my heart has broke in so many places, I'm one of the lucky ones, within days I'll be home, but with me come...psychological wounds, A veteran I'm called, a wounded soul forever changed, lucky enough not to fall, These young soldiers I deployed with are now my extended family, they fought for their country proudly, As we embark on this journey home, those that lost a loved one, that pain...you don't carry alone, Till the day I die, their names I will honor...their names will bring a tear to my eye, I've asked myself a million times, why did I live, why did they have to die, The answer I'm afraid, may never be found, so with a heavy heart I stand up proud, Remember the fallen, and carry on with the mission, Live life to the fullest, and leave no task unfinished.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
