Favorite Quote:
Be the kind of person that inspires other people to up their game.


How can I miss those I haven't known?

Those missing, killed or captive

A family awaits 

To leave the poisonous state of maybe

Maybe they will live

Their empty chair squeaks

Or maybe they have gone

Their empty bed ponders

Yet our hearts still leap with hope unwillingly 

For in a house weighed down with stones of grief

Hope starts to float 

Whispering out to you

Will you come home soon?

This poem expresses the feeling of the families of people taken by war, wether as hostages or missing in action.
