BATTLE OF THE HEART
For love and country
How I wished this day had never comeĀ
Having to say goodbye to the one I love
But the country is calling out to its sons
And my soul is tied to the freedom of our flag.
Why must life demand of me a choice?
I love you both dearly, but love can be selfish at timesĀ
Can a man be divided, body and soul?
My heart yearns for your embrace
And my consciousness gravitates to the demands of the country.
Today, I walk in the face of death, not caring for my lifeĀ
Knowing that your security intertwines with the duty of the country.
If I must die, then spill my blood
Love has asked me for this sacrificeĀ
And I would be less than you deserveĀ
If I should turn a deft ear to the battle before me.
Goodbye, my love.
Wilford Barker.

Hello Wilford...
You described the feeling within well in this situation...
That's what is the real shame in this time...
We're being made to have them put you at Risk...
Why not?
You're an American...
They don't care about you...
Know We Do...
They don't think about you, pray for you, hold you, hug you...
We Do...
But, they are your Boss?
That's a Bummer!
Maybe, you'll get a New Boss and you hear...
Not yet...
We Got This!
You're Our People!
We Got Your Back!
We don't want to take you away from your family unless we absolutely have too...
Question if you were made to have Boobs but, the other Country sees you...
What do you think their reaction will be?
Do you think you would win?
Will they think you're very pretty before they kill you?
Just wondering...
Hopefully, the best reaction...
They laugh themselves into hysterics and can't hold their Weapon Straight?
Pray with me for the first?
The last one...
I'm going to shake my head until it hurts...
Beautiful and Touching Write!
Thank you for sharing...

I think this is a metaphor, cleverly written. If itās so, I am sorry to hear that. Itās a very difficult choice. If she reads this, I think sheāll understand. Ā BĀ
