War is every mothers trepidation.
The sleepless nights of her childs
participation. Going from ecstacy
from a letter that found home, to
her nervous heart pounding as she
reflects alone. A nervous reflection
of what could be, a flag draped coffin,
and a letter from the presidency.
Don't add to her anguish from what is
perceived to be a lie shes got enough
on her plate as she lies awake and cries


Not a complaint just a heart felt thought:heart:

Thank you,

On Her Plate

She sets the table as though
he were home.
Makes the best of the time
waiting near the phone.
She sends him some cookies
like he always loved,
Believing he's safe
knowing it's not enough.
Once in awhile,
when no one knows,
she allows some tears
as his letters flow.
Her plate is always
and never as before,
She'd welcome the moment
he walks through her door.

My nephew just completed his tours and luckily he made it home unscathed :heart: Watching my sister go through what she did inspired this piece. I can't understand how people can make a hypothesis at best when only the president really knows why we went into Iraq well and george bush. With Obamas background and the way he flip floped about the war it makes a person wonder what they know that they're not telling us. It can't be just oil because we put the first wells over there and we had controll of them after WWII why didn't we just keep them then. With the way our economy is set up i'm sure oil is a part of it but it's not the major reason because we can get oil from other places as well.
