The Soldier's Wife

A poem showing the trauma a soldiers wife faces while he is on the war front

Dressed in the wedding gown she bid him good bye

Valiantly she held back the tears in her eyes

Just pronounced man and wife

Now on the battle field he fought for life

Each day in the church a candle she lit

Praying he was safe and fit

Bullets and guns while he braved

To return to his spouse ,his heart craved

Days went by and then months

He battled the opponents on the war front

For his country he fought

Until in a coffin he was brought

Her dreams of happily wedded life now lay on the funeral pyre

Indeed with her husband she too was a martyr 

Author's Note

Just thought of this as a way to thank all the men in the uniform and their families for their sacrifice.

The soldier's wife fights a different battle in a different field. A good tribute to all those at war! :)

This poem should certainly be read to all people to let them know that the wives were the ones always suffering. I can feel the outpour of emotions in this piece. Great job!
