Love Wrapped in Eternity

Sitting on the edge of the bed I imagined most people are thinking about the gifts they have bought or plan to receive from someone they love this Christmas.  I can`t help but think of our soldiers in Iraq who have been separated from their husbands, wives and significant others. 

It must be a challenging time.  I could imagine how it must feel being thousands of miles away from home seperated from family and friends with no one to hear your pains of love for those you care for dearly.  It must be painful sitting on a military truck somewhere or guarding a very important entry way into a city on a hot day not knowing if the next car may contain a suicide bomber. 

So to this cause I`m sending my love and I pray you will pause a moment and send your love too!  You see real love can not be wrapped in a box and sent as a gift.  Real love is something that you give freely because you care so passionately for the one you love that you want them to know it. 

When it`s all said and done nothing can separate real lovers from the ones they love...no tears, no oceans or land masses can block us from sending our love so join me and dedicate your love and send it today to our soldiers. 

To the families, loved ones, friends but most importantly our soldiers who have been separated from their loved ones I dedicate this poem to you.  May God bless you and return you back home to us where you can experience again the love we have for you here in America.
