There I Stand...

its a poem i have written..for all the people with a person across seas this holdiay..

There I stand...

There I stand...
Terminal 13,
He says goodbye the last time,
He kissed me the last time,
He held me the last time,
He waved the last time

There I stand...
Replaying the memories,
As his plane floats above me
There he stands...
At guard
To the stripes and stars
An image in green
In the black battle scene

There they stand...
Guns fire
Friends fall
Bombs burst
Enemy call

There we stand...
His letter in hand
Images of death
Written in red pen


There I stand...
As the phone rings:
Rings once
Unknown number
Rings twice
Scared to answer

There I stand..
My knees go weak
My tears fall too..
As I am rushed
With news of you

And there I stand..

With you once again
Reading your name
Carved in stone

Yet there you stand..
Still at guard
For your country
And in my heart
