A LETTER TO DAD

By Michelle Longo-Bloom

I’m writing to you today Dad,
because I know you’ll understand.
There are endless sounds of gun fire,
bombs blasting and wind blown sand.
I don’t mean to make you sad Dad,
but I’m feeling very scared,
the courage and the bravery, little I have had;
much less than I was seeking;
when I was leaving for this war
perhaps it was my “bravado” speaking.
I felt so gallant, I felt so proud,
“I will serve my country”, I did shout out loud.
Whatever you do Dad, don’t lose your faith,
don’t lose your pride or your trust in me.
No matter how much blood shed and terror that I see,
I vow, in the name of freedom, this war, we shall beat.
If I come home, alive or not,
I will tell you this, straight from the heart.
You can tell the world; shout it out loud,
“My son served his country and I feel so proud!”
