THE SOLDIER'S WIFE

in #poetry5 years ago

She watched him leave her sight
To fight for the country they love
Her wish was for him to come back alive
But only the situation at war can determine that
All she had to do was to wait patiently
And hope he comes back in one piece.

Weeks turned to months and no word from him
Left with all the memories they have shared together
To keep her warm through this trying period
Crying to sleep like a baby that wants her mummy
All she continued to do was to pray and wait
For the man she loved with all her life.

They met when he had no career
She was just recovering from hurt
But he was able to catch her attention
The love she never had over the years
She found with him and that was the start
The beginning of a future together.

Her parents never liked him at first
Jobless and poorer than church rat
But she stood behind him through it all
Till they final accepted and blessed him
When he eventually got the military job
To serve and fight for the country today.

Her knees hurt from constant prayers
For her man to come back alive to her
She can't wait to kiss his lips again
And tell him how much she misses him
Never did she know those prayers worked
Because it saw him through the war.

He almost died but mercy said no
Bullets went left and right without hitting him
Killing his friends and colleagues
It was a miracle that turned to testimony
For he survived thanks to God and wife's prayers
And luckily, he lived to see his wife again.
