To the Man in Iraq

This pen
writes about our
memories,
our laughter, and
our sadness.

This pen
writes in red
for love,
hope,
and warmth.

This pen
writes about
the world and
how cruel and
unjust it has become.

This pen
writes to wish you
well
overseas
fighting an never-ending
fight
for invisible justice.

This pen
writes for your safety
and your happiness,
You know I’ll love you
forever and ever.
