My Journalist Lover Comments

Such an excellent piece! ......thanks for sharing...

Aw expressed in soulful touching longing of a love gone to serve and war. A fabulous poem indeed. Kudos!

Timely with all the focus on war. Sad but real and your use of the medal and crucifix as metaphors for hope and magical guards against harm were well woven in. The poem as a whole was a metaphor for the lack of notice we get about war.

Poignant and moving. A powerfully written poem.

This poem of untold tragedy and calamity wrenches the heart of the reader. A sob comes out involuntarily.

May Our Prayers Always Be Heard! ....................

Deeply deeply moving! .. Of heart and soul! .. Beautifully beautifully expressed! .. Beyond #ing! ..+++++

Very well done, my friend!

A heart wrenching poem about the loneliness and pain that comes from a lover reporting from the jaws of war.
