Topic: TRAVELER (01/28/16)
As we gather here today to say our goodbyes, some of us put it into words and others of us just cry. There is really no measurement of how much you will be missed, we couldn't even try.
When you reach your destination so very far away, please take a few moments to remember this day and know how much we wish you could have stayed.
As you fight for our freedom so tried and true, there is a reflection of how much we love you in the red, white and blue.
In our daily lives that very freedom gets taken for granted, while your feet are there so firmly planted.
So take with you this very special prayer, that God will keep you and guide you with His tender loving care.
You are family and this you will always be, with all of your strength and courage there fighting so we can stay free.
My dearest cousin please come back to us safe and sound, and know
that forever and always that we, your family could never be more proud!

This is a very thoughtful poem with a heartfelt message. One suggestion I have is to format it differently so it looks and reads like a poem. Well done.

Touching tribute to your cousin and soldiers everywhere.

It would be easier to read if the formatting and spacing left more white space. It is too compressed. The beginning was slightly confusing to me; I thought he was dead instead of leaving for war.

I appreciate the positive feedback, and I agree that it does need to be formatted differently as well as include more white space, but Im not sure how to get back into the poem to edit it...Does anybody know?

Great job with the topic and a lovely tribute in the interim.

God bless~
