Dearest darling as I write to you upon the heather kissed by dew I dream again of your sweet face another time, another place Will you return soon to my side? after fighting for our nation’s pride Know this, my love, for this I yearn to hold you dear when you return I pray to remain strong and true and keep my faith, alone for you. |

Poet - what a lovely testament - I think in this turmoil everyone seems to forget those that are left at home and the fear of those going away and leaving their families - very nice - excellent xxoo |

Nice job on remembering the hardest jobs in the military... that of the military wife. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Imagine all the People living life in peace... |

Very beautiful write, Sharon. I know there are many who are feeling this tonight. One of them is my next door neighbors daughter. She and her husband's boys are staying with her parents until her husband gets back from Iraq. He was just a few tents down from where the man threw the hand grenade into the tent the other day. Heart hugs, Ethel |

Sharon~ awww I cried at this, I have two friends over there, and its so hard for me to enjoy life, and freedom right now....I worry as we all might do, and I know others have the same.....I feel so selfish just saying softly, pls bring them home safely.....life means so much more right now....and how we sometimes tend to forget what life means.... thank you for this.... sincerely Lauren~ I close my eyes and there in the shadows I see your light |

I wonder how many times through the ages such letters have been written, such hearts have worried and yearned. *S* This is beautiful, PDV. |
