Hero...

peom based on the return of any one in the military

He rushes into hold you
  and the tears fall like broken glass
And you become lost
  in his warm embrace
His cover falls to the floor
  as he bends to wipe the tears from your face

All these years you've been told hes a hero
This is true
But he wears not colored tights
But desert cammies

This is the best poem ever! I have those feelings when someone I know comes back. The feelings you right about are very true and I love how you seem to get the feelings from both sides here "his and hers". You made me cry, so you're very successful!

The departures are very sad. In my 15 years in the Army. But when you return the joy and happiness can't be described. A poem that tells a true story. A excellent poem.
