Letter Home


   Here's a short letter.
   I've not much to tell.
   I hope all is peaceful
   and everyone well.

   The war is still raging,
   getting bigger every day.
   I've seen no real action,
   so I am okay.

   We're safe where I am,
   no danger to us,
   the Cong are up north,
   so no need to fuss.

   I hear all is great
   at college and home,
   I’m anxious for a furlow
   to talk with everyone.

   Time to stop writing.
   They've called an alert.
   Say "hi" to all my friends,
   especial . . . . . . . .
