I found this today on the wall in a bunk room where one of the soldiers from another assignment slept.
A Soldier's Poem
An Endless Beach that has no Ocean
Where Beauty and Peril Lie
Uncertainty at a Market Place
The Smell of Emotions Tide
Exotic Scents and the Stench of War
Blend in Desert Haze
A Token Gift to a Grateful Child
Shortens a Long Weary Day
Over the Din of Soldiers Voices
Floats a Sweet Familiar Tune
It Transports our Flagging Spirit Home
Across the Hot Wind Swept Dunes
Just for a Minute you Feel Yourself
Safe In the Warm Embrace
Comforted by the One's you Love and
Memory of Each Caring Face.
