MILITARY WIFE

Inspired By The Strength Of The Military Wife


She placed her soft lips
on his cheek
Kissing him good -bye.
Little did she know
No longer
Will she kiss him again.

With his jungle uniform
And a back pack
He saluted her,
A norm he usually does
To honor her
For her patience.

Waved good -bye
Disappeared into horizon.

Worries
Anxieties
Sleepless nights
Took over
Cuddling her 'till he returns.

Then he called.
Greetings
Love jokes
He whispered to her poor heart
Reminding her of his love.

Smiles
Giggles
Laughs
She replied.

Suddenly.Silent
A bullet ripped his soul
He broke the single basic
Rule of survival in a battlefield.

And then a message came
  "He is dead "

In the airport runway
She stood Tears on her eyes
black veil on her head
Breast feeding
A baby he didn't have
a chance of seeing
Ready to welcome
her man back.
The Military way .
