I Was Touched By A Hero Poem by Kaila George

I remember a time
I was touched by a hero
That had survived world war two
He was ever so kind and called me ma'am
When he said what sweet poems I write
I was touched by his words
He was kind and sincere
He talked to me daily
About his life his journeys
I cannot comprehend
His agony and pain
All I could do was listen in vain
I knew not what it was like to be
The soul living survivor of his platoon
And then he stopped writing to me
I waited day after day just to see him
Comment in my inbox
It's been almost a year
Since that particular day
It was on this day he ceased to write
I now shall be quite
To remember my friend
Night Jonathan may you rest in peace
