What Do I See?

What Do I see when I look at a soldier? Sorrow, Sadness, Sacrifice. The torment all around. Yet, when I look in his eyes I see hope. Hope that this will end soon, And he an return to his family. What do I see when I look at his wife? She's torn and worried, Half-expecting him not to come home. arely sleeping at night, she's scared. But deep in her heart, She knows he's coming back. What do I see when I look at a veteran? Still, the images forever locked in his head. His friends are gone;yet after all the years, He still misses them. The dedication remains. He may wear a striaght face, But inside, he is broken. I wrote this poem for a contest at school.
