Sarah Critch Poet Dramatic Monologue

As Days Flew By

As days flew by I have missed you so
You see sand and wind
Love ones are lost without you

Holidays come and go
And still our hearts lie with you
Some days we miss your happiness
And weep when hearing your voice

We wonder what it's like over there
To even get up on some days
Children in streets, happy to see you

Women dressed in foreign clothes
Men with guns and gear
You go to work and see your kids picture
And start to sob

Family's that have loved ones live with this
But they never forget
When someone has served their rights

Wife's feel like their heart has been ripped
Children pray
Friends wait

Until finally the solider returns
Family's reunite
Children weep uncontrollably
Friend's rejoice that God has blessed them
To have their soldier back home safe

Travis Tapley April 29, 2010 at 5:31 PM This was a very touching write and as I read your words and the beautiful ending, my mind could not help but think of those that do not make it back home and the wives and children crying for a different reason. This was very moving, really wonderful poem.
