War, and its aftermath, is hell ...


Poem Artwork

When it is silent in the middle
of the night, when they think
no one is looking, soldiers cry.

They are not hardened hearts
of battle, machines programmed
to kill, murderers to the core ...

When buddies are ripped from
the pages of memory or when a
little child suffers and dies ...

When the war stretches out
forever and thoughts turn to 
loved ones, far, far away ...

When they come home, if they
come home, and their sacrifice
means absolutely nothing at all ...

soldiers cry.

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (7/16)

Karla I have been married to a Military man who has served thirty years and yes I have watched him cry a good many tears for what he has seen. Soliders have the BIGGEST hearts and they offer to give it for us. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie Hugs are on the way, Rose

Too many have shed too many tears. And we should all weep for them.

I think this must be read in the offices of all presidents who send their boys to war. Fantastic poem, depicting the true feelings of a soldier in mission

Oh Karla, this is so good, yet filled with all the pains of war. I have seen them cry, which makes my heart ache even more; for the soldiers and their families.

Peace,

I did write a peom about crying too on my den. Soldiers lost loved ones, I lost my loved one. Life does not seem fair. Only God knows his plan for us all. Sometimes we cannot understand. Isn't it coincidence I could write about crying while you were writing about soldiers' cry?

Karla,

I think this is beautiful. Sometimes people forget soldiers are really people, even though we rally "support our troops" Is that for real, or just lip service. One has to wonder.

They sure do cry, Karla: they've seen more heartbreak and hell than anyone has a right to. That's why we need to reach out, support them in any way we can. Excellent write; brava! And thank YOU for your service!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(
