You see the light shining to yur right,

You don't know why but you know it's for you.

As you enter you're greeted by an amazing sight,

There stands your buddies that went before you.

 

Behind the soldiers is an awesome sight,

Can you really believe your eyes.

You stand and bask in God's brilliant light,

Filling the spacious skies.

 

"You were a brave soldier to the very end,

You fought hard and gave your all.

For your family and your friends,

You proudly answered you countries call."

 

"But there are battles still to be won,

Now we fight for the souls we can save.

Would you join your brothers till the job is done,

Battle side by side with the bravest of brave?"

 

You stand but a moment not sure what to do,

The you stoop down and kneel.

"Father, I'd be proud to fight for you,

On your heavenly battlefield."

 

This is just a portion of the poem I was inspired to write awhile back.  May it bring you comfort in this time of loss. 

This is a portion of an original that I was inspired to write a few months ago.  I hope and pray it helps you.

 

You

I would first like to extend to you My deepest condolences for your son Jesse and to all of his frinds and family members! I can't even imagine what you are feeling. I also have a son named Jesse, andI saw that your Jesse was born on Dec 14. That is the day My son's father passed away when he was 12, from a brain tumor. He was also a Vietnam Vet! Anyway July 2nd my son Jesse, and 3 other soldiers  from the 101st Airborne, were attacked by 2 RPG's and small arms fire!  It was his 2nd deployment, but his first mission! He arrived there on June 19..So far he has had 11 surgeries , as well as 3 amputations to his right leg , and also alot of skin grafting to both legs!  He is now at Walter Reed!  And though I can't imagine what you are going through, I do feel your pain..My heart just aches for you, as my heart aches for my Jesse too! I pray that God  blesses you with much comfort ,strength, and peace in the difficult days, weeks, and months ahead!  I also pray that this horrible war will soon end, and that once again there will be peace in this world, so that all of soldiers can come home! My thoughts and prayers are with you, and your son has my most profound respect and gratitude for his service and selfless sacrifices to his country...HOOAH and God bless your hero soldier son!

Sincerely; Sandy 

Proud Army Mom of Sgt. Jesse J. Wallace (101st Airborne)

Julie, I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  I can only imagine what you must be going through, losing a child.  I don't know how to console you, but I do want you to know you are in our prayers.  So many feelings and so much pain, but also with all of that, you must be so proud of him.  I never met your son, but I had a picture of him in my mind from when you used to talk about him.  Bless you Julie and family.  Your old friends, Jim & Judy Wilkerson
