Soldier On <br /> <br /> <br /> Soldier on oh dear one<br /> Soldier on I say<br /> For though I am not with you now<br /> My thoughts are, every day<br /> <br /> My passing was without a doubt<br /> A grievance to your soul<br /> But please so know, where I have gone<br /> Takes not on me a toll<br /> <br /> I see you every living hour<br /> I touch you in my mind<br /> I hold your hand and kiss your lips<br /> Although not as mankind<br /> <br /> But as a spirit around you cast<br /> As if a vaporous cloud <br /> Swirling round your form so fine<br /> So welcomely endowed<br /> <br /> Your life goes on and you must make<br /> A life without me now<br /> So soldier on, and keep the faith<br /> Solace in me endow<br /> <br /> <br /> A faint message to a dear one from a deceased lover beyond the grave.<br /> <br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br /> <br /> <br />   Submitted By: John Cornick
