While He is Gone
Folder:
Military/Patriotic While he is gone
She works quietly alone
To keep family and home
Together.
For a month or a day
While he is away
With their family she will stay
Forever.
A serviceman’s wife
Has a difficult life
Through storms and strife
Weathers.
Keeping faith, he will return
To love and hearth for which he yearns
Their hearts, loneliness spurns,
Together.
If the unthinkable happens and he does not come
She will survive and maintain that home.
With the camaraderie known by few,
Their compadres will see them through.
Raising a family with two at home
Is a hard proposition at best
To do it on her own
Puts her to the test.
Like a trooper, she will hang on
Until he comes marching home
To make the family whole once more
And his country safe from war.
what is your definition of an unsung hero? i know i am asking the right person since you are definitely a patriot!

Wonderful tribute to a special group of people, the military spouse. True warriors in their own right.
This poems brought tears to my eyes. Knowing that the husband of a colleague-author from a writing club went into the war against terrorism, it brings the feelings close. Beautifully written!
Absolutely beautiful...
