Widow

I'm reading his letter

As I read his letter

I sit by his grave

His letter reads…

"I have fallen in the field

Fighting for a country we both love

Hope the kids are well

I wish them the best

And though you do not

Know it or see me

I am always with you

Every second

Of every minute

Of every day"

I shed a tear

It lands on the letter

I feel a hand

Touch my shoulder

I know he is there

Though I can not see him.
