    About this ebook

    Through the lens of poetry, the author captures the trials that soldiers and their loved ones experience during war . . . times of separation, fear, death, and reunions shared by men and women sacrificing their time and often their lives supporting Americas freedom during military service.

    These poems, written by the author as a soldier deployed during Desert Shield and Storm, not only relate to the author, but also express the emotions of many others serving now or who have served and have difficulty expressing how war has affected them, their wives, children, or allloved ones encompassedin their circleduring the times of war.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
