Simple

Shadows to a light I can’t find

The soldier standing

I stood behind

A metal door

Bullet holes in the wall

Of my grandma’s house

Simpler time

When I wished I knew

How to say hello

Without getting shot

  1. Powerful and worthwhile poetry. I served in three combat zones and I went to Africa on two food, water and medicine missions. I cannot forget the faces. I believe the people of war. Had learn to accept war and they were trying to survive. I will buy a gift card. I would love to own your book.
