Poignant and ultimately triumphant--intriguing juxaposition of love and war--an original take on the theme of love poetry--its freshness will likely work in its favor!

This is a great poem!
And coming from the heart like this,
makes it even greater, as far as I'm concerned.
I didn't see any faults with it at all.
My compliments, well done!

We should not lament the death of young soldiers on the battlefield. Those who sacrifice their lives in the war are honoured in heaven. They have done something which an ordinary citizen can't do. They sacrificed their lives for the country. I liked your poem. Good luck!

It's that very love that will help him heal. Everything takes time, but it sounds like you both have a bond that can't be broken. This poem is a tribute to the love you share, I wish you both the best and good luck in the contest. :)

Yes, it is easy to see that this poem comes straight from your heart. War sparks so much personal tragedy and it is only the kind of love that you describe as U S Army strong that keeps some vets going. Thanks for sharing this very personal poem.

A positive message to send out there into the world. It shows that life is tough and that to have something great you have to put in the work. It also brings light to the fight of the warriors that defend us every day.
