A Soldier's Christmas by Michelle R Kidwell Power In The Pen Friday, December 08, 2006 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan

I was thinking of all who are away from their families this Christmas, the Soldiers who will not get to be with the families, and this piece came to me, lets remember the Soldiers and their families this Christmas I wish I could be here With you for Christmas Lord knows I want to be But I am over here A world away Fighting this war Trying to keep the American way Safe Trying to keep The American way safe Trying to offer an opressed people A taste of Democracy. Sometimes the battle is hard Sometimes good men fall And we are left To say our goodbye's Between rounds of fire. I wish I could be home for Christmas But for now I will carry the spirit of Christmas Cheer with me Even in the battle. Copyright Michelle R Kidwell Dec.08.06 1:05 A.M PST

Michelle--all I can say here is thank you for this. I was that marine last year. My family celebrated Christmas without me. It was very hard to endure the pain, but we overcame. People like yourself help us through difficult times like this. You're awesome! Jim

Great write and very appropriate for there will be so many that will be separted during the holiday. I have a little boy in my first grade classroom whose dad is home on leave for two weeks. One week has gone so quickly....each day the little boy looks at the clock and asks how many spins around until we go home. He never watched the clock before, but now he eagerly awaits his dad coming to pick him up. He has one more week left before he returns to Iraq...this family was one of the blessed families. It's a sad situation, but on that same note I am so proud of our brave and steadfast soldiers. Great write, and happy holidays to you and your family. Blessings, Joyce Bowling
