Goodnight...My Love Poem by Philip Lore

Goodnight my darling, you're my sweet, sweet love,
From my bunker under the stars above.
Just to hold you in my arms again,
To kiss you lips, I try to remember when.

I wish that I could leave this horrid place,
Hold you tight, and gaze into your face,
When I'm down and out and feeling blue,
I know you'll wait because our loves so true.

Tell the family, that I miss them so,
It seems I left you, oh so long ago.
You're in my heart and soul each and every day,
I've had a long and trying time today.

Goodnight, my love, from Iraq, so far away,
I pray to God that I make it through the day.
