another army wife

.

I’m just another army wife who loves her husband for no special reason
There isn’t one day where he doesn’t cross my mind
I was worried when he told me he was going to war
I pleaded for him not to go but he didn’t take notice
He said “ I’m doing this for my country and my family
If i don’t come back just you I love you and always will
I started to cry I was pregnant at the time.
And off he went to war he’d write to me every month saying hes fine
And not to worry he said he loved me over and over again
A year had past and i had the baby.
I wrote back saying she could walk and started saying dad,
He was blessed he said only one year and I’ll be home…
A couple of months had passed I had no letters I started to get worried
One Wednesday i got informed he was dead and to this day i think what a brave soldier he was I wrote this poem to acknowledge him and show you
What pain and trauma i go through everyday thank you for reading.
