Courage by Anissa

Courage
Soldier’s courage

Lying in his army bunk
Sleep won’t come
Dreaming of home
Missing his wife
Empty space by his side
Won’t be long
Must stay strong

Mother’s courage
Cross at her chest
Praying her only son
Survives the carnage
Dangerous world
She bore him to
War never ending

Hears his voice through the winter air
Whispers please take care

Sister’s courage
Reads brothers written words
Beautiful bond
Reminiscing
Missing her twin
So long it’s been

Hears his voice through the winter air
Whispers do take care

Lover’s courage
Weeps as he leaves
Kissing goodbye
Loving him more and more
Hears his voice through the winter air

Whispers, love take care.
