No One with Me

Sometimes, I wish you were here

to help me and comfort me

when I need them both.

But no one is here

and I do the best that I can.

I move on and remember

that good times,

but I do not live in the past;

I just enjoy it, and look forward

to days which are filled with sun

and maybe you too, but likely not.

Waiting

I am waiting;

Waiting for information,

so I can move on.

When will it come?

I do not know.

I hope it comes soon,

and not in a few weeks,

or perhaps never.

In the meantime, I wait

and wait and wait.

Nothing else I can do,

so I look around

and do what I can.

while waiting.

Once I have the info,

I can breathe

and feel relaxed.

Until then,

I feel the walls

closed in around me.

My Goal

Striving towards a goal,

but sometimes I feel so run down

that I want to quit.

And sometimes just give up

and be no more.

However, I will not quit

nor give up ever

for one day achieving my goal

is what keeps me going.

Safely Home

I just want you safely home.

To walk off that plan unaided,

To hold me in your arms,

To hold our kids in your arms.

I want to hear your laugh

and see your smile.

To remember why I love you

and married you.

To hear you say, 'I love you."

So please stay safe

for the sake of me and our kids.

I love you.

Dishonor

Why do you dishonor my brother

who is buried in the earth?

He is only in his grave in the ground.

He died by friendly fire,

and his life ended permanently.

He lives on in my heart, and my family's hearts.

However, he lives no where else.

No where else - for there is

no heaven, no hell, and no god.

Do not say he lives in heaven

for that is a lie.

A lie that he would not believe.

A lie that dishonors his memory.

Abandoned

Why did you abandon me?

I so wanted to see you;

to spend time with you,

and you were not there,

Not anywhere, no where.

I just wanted to be with you,

to have you hug me,

to play with me.

Yet, you were not there for me.

Why? Why abandon me?

I want, I demand an answer.

My questions gets no answer.

You are not here to reply

because you abandon me.

Was It Worth It?

Hope, my friend, I see you

and appreciate you.

You have stuck by me,

while I wandered in darkness,

doubting myself, and feeling low.

But you stuck by me, and cheered me on

no matter how low I felt.

So I never gave up. Never.

I trudged through the depths of my soul,

and you were always there,

even when I did not see you;

Even when I rejected you;

Even when I did not want you around.

You stuck by me.

And now the question, "Was it worth it?"

has been answered with a simple reply

of I believe in me.
