Soldier

Christopher Elwell

The soldier waits ...

With rifle unaimed

With bullet unfired

With bayonet unfixed

With uniform unknown

With boots untrodden

With rations uneaten

With canteen unreplenished,

With words unspoken

With letter unread

With locket unopened

With face unseen

With dreams undreamt

With life unlived

With love undiminished ...

For a grave to be dug.
