Poem about a Soldier

The Soldier

 –

Man went off to War

As many men had before

Leaving home his wife

Adjusting to this new life

–

Wife raising kids on own.

Connecting each day by phone,

Feels not so alone.

 –

When at home he worked

In city where trouble lurked.

She frets for his safety

Yet safer at war may be.

–                      – June Nash
