Just one last chance

This poem depicts the words of a martyred army man...his words for the love of his life...

Just One last chance…

Oh God, give me just one last chance, to see her, touch her, feel her,

To fulfill her each desire, and to tell, how much I love her.

I had always dreamt of a life as beautiful as you my dear,

Even when we were separated by distance, you were always so very near

I used to gaze at the stars and keep wondering about thee

Were you too watching them, cuddled in bed, and thinking about me?

The moon always reminded me of your beautiful, spotless face

And I would yearn to come back to you and take you into my embrace

When I saw you the very last time, your eyes full of tears I could see,

But I had to leave my dear, for my land needed me

For all the injuries I sustained, I thought I would live through

For every time a bullet hit my body, I saw only you

Today I have gone so far away; I don’t know what to do

All I can do is look at you from beyond and forever, keep loving you

I had no idea, Oh God, for us you had such plans,

Please, oh please oh God, give me just one last chance.
