My Little Tin Soldier

 Letter From My Little Tin Soldier & Philosophy Friend 

"Two plus years have elapsed since I was diagnosed 

and surgically treated by operations to clear left & right 

lower leg aortal aneurisms - I haven't written or published 

anything, nor contributed to or read any poetry sites 

I used to be attracted to because I had & still have, lost 

all motivation, enthusiasm and incentive, I had hoped 

energy would return, but as yet, it all remains void, only 

family gave me a sense of goodness and purpose

I shall remain in existence, thoroughly interested and 

fully aware"  

I must HELP my Little Tin Soldier to get back on his one leg,  

I must help him to find motivation, enthusiasm and incentive, 

to dream as he stands guard in the night, to find his voice  

and sing his beautiful lyrical songs...
