War

Writer's note: line 5 = he'd

This is a lovely piece Tommie - powerful because it's not overdone

Bravo!

Thank you LSP for the correction ; )
And your kind words.

Thank goodness for the love of a good woman! That's the truth! God's breath to men. Awesome!

Appreciate you reading xmar82. Thank you :)

I agree seascape, that feeling of comfort!
Thank you :)

Well thank you very much Poet. ;)

a loving woman is a veteran's greatest reward. fine work, Tommie...

It can break a relationship or make it stronger...I like happy endings. Thank you John.  :)

Echo XMar and Seascape.  With the centenary of WWI coming up, and the ongoing maiming of soldiers in recent campaign in Iraq and Afghanistan, a timely theme.  Yes, it can break a relationship or make it stronger.  Last four lines my favourite.

Thank you SS :)

Now that's love. This piece touched me Tommie. I believe that love is the only way to bring someone back from such unimanageable trauma.

Thank you GW :)

That's a beautiful write, T Lynn.  Thrifty word usage resulting in an explosion of significant consequence.  (I'm trying to say great job).  I don't remember ever seeing a title that contributed so much to the total effect...

I'm glad you liked it jvp...your words mean a lot. Thank you :)

feels like a warm hug and a whisper in my ear "hold my hand,everything will be alright"

Thanks Hman ;)
