[hometext] => This is for Jamie and Bonnie. Jamie keep fighting the good fight, and Bonnie, your girl will be home soon!
[bodytext] => She packs her bags, she can't be late Her flights at ten, and its half past eight The rush of the morning, Though fitting the mood Is not what she hoped for, Its not what she knew Her mother sits back, Just waiting in line To be the last one, To tell her daughter goodbye For years she's played house, she’s played doctor, and more But how can a mother, See her daughter play War Not in the backyard, or the park down the street But in real combat missions, In Baghdad and Tikrit She knows her daughters strong, She’s the toughest one there But to this "old fashioned" mother, It just doesn't seem fair She turns away crying, Not wanting to see But can't hold it back, as she watches her leave "She'll be back before long", her husband confides "We haven't seen the last of, our daughter's goodbyes" She worried to death, She isn't alone So she silently prays, For those who won't make it home.

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. ©
