My Soldier 2

by AYoung   Aug 19, 2005


This is dedicated to my beautiful husband who died in Iraq October 06,2004 Jeungjin Kim. Father, Son, best friend, beloved husband.

I was walking in formation coming back from school, an there you stood staring at me looking so cool.

Its been 4 months since I last saw you, you look so different now with your hair all buzzed off. Oh my you look so good.

I felt as if I was never going to see you again. But here you are in front of me telling me how much you love me.

We are both soldiers but I look up to you. You are the perfect soldier. Boots always shined uniform pressed that it could cut my skin.

That fateful day when my company in charge of deployments found out that you were going to Iraq is the day we found out that I was pregnant! Oh happy day.

That seemed like just yesterday when you were so excited to be a dad. But now I'm here all alone left with just this stupid flag.
