A Military Wife's Worry Poem by mary catherine

i've layed awake night after night
thinking of you and me and our life
what will become of the love we have found
will it endure the leaps and the bounds
can it sustain the long days of hell
while your away and i'm still right here
i long for the day that you will return
that smile on your face our love all anew
hoping and praying that phone doesnt ring
to once again take you away from this scene
i spend each day worried
my heart filled with fear
will my love come home
to dry all these tears
i wait and i worry
with no end in sight
where is my love now
is he alright tonight
