Submitted to my most romantic poem contest - Rhonda Johnson-Saunders
~Awarded 5th Place~

I have only been gone for a week or two My darling Emily I am pining for you In my mind’s eye I can see your titian hair Your emerald eyes, your complexion so fair Sweetheart, you know the army is my life You knew this when you became my wife I picture your face and pray I will see it soon For your smile lights up the darkest room Great distance and war keep us apart Darling Emily you are forever in my heart Even during the darkest hours I smell the scent of fragrant flowers The news on your scroll lifted my heart I can’t bear the thought that we are apart When I return to your arms you will be a mother Our daughter may have a new baby brother Take care sweet Emily, it is you that I miss Every night I dream of your tender kiss With God’s grace we will be together again I will love you forever, your husband Ken 08~01~14
