Solider Poem by lorissa cowan

The sky is blue and grey,
With the cloud’s dark and gloomy,
I’m standing there,
As the rain falls down around me,

I see you march away,
I ran after you and see,
But your not there,
You’ve marched too far for me to see,

I stopped trying to find my way,
But didn’t know which way to turn,
I look around and see you there,
But when I get there you’re gone,

I yell your name,
But got nothing in return,
I whisper your name,
And keep it close to my heart,

You’re a solider for the army,
Marching off to war,

My tears roll down my cheeks,
The pain I have won’t go,
I never got to say my good byes,
And it will always be untold
