I will never give up hope

In this war-torn land so cold,

My heart is filled with dread.

I miss my family so much,

I don't know how I'll go on.

My mother's tears still haunt me,

As I marched away to war.

I promised her I would come back,

But I don't know if I will.

My father's words of wisdom

Ring in my ears day and night.

He told me to be brave,

But I'm not sure I can be.

My siblings are all I have left,

And I'm afraid I'll never see them again.

I dream of the day we can be together,

But for now, I'm all alone.

I write this poem with a heavy heart,

Knowing that my family is suffering too.

I pray for peace every day,

But I don't know if it will ever come.

Until then, I will keep fighting,

For my family and for my country.

I will never give up hope,

That one day we will all be together again.
