Semper Fidelis

 

My father, a soldier

With the 101st

Believed in his battle

He wasn’t the first.

 

My brother, a soldier

With the 281st.

Missing in Action

Another subtraction.

 

A daughter, a sister

I’ve been blessed.

Always faithful

Learned from the best.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
