A soldiers poem to his wife as duty takes him away
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

In twilight's silent hour, when dreams begin to fade,
My heart laments the past, our plans all left unmade.
Our love once full of hope, now shadows on the breeze,
Is lost to time's cruel hand, as whispers in the trees.

The echo of your voice, a lovely tender sound,
Resides within my soul, where our hearts are still bound.
A fleeting chance we missed, now veiled in sorrow's shade,
A vision of a life, that destiny betrayed.

Though death's shadow looms near, duty calls me to fight,
In service I must stand, through the darkness of night.
My heart's burden to bear, with each tear left behind,
For honor and for love, I'll face fate unaligned.

Do not weep for my soul, for it soars in the sky,
In each dawn's gentle glow, in each whispering sigh.
Remember me with joy, not a tear in your eye,
My love for you remains, though now in peace I lie.
