Her Love Is Strong
After the aftermath
A love can be so strong
To nurse back to health
The receiver of that bomb
My darling husband James
In Helmond Province so
Walked through a doorway
And then that bomb did blow
He lay there stunned and bloodied
Attempting to get up and stand
But the bomb had done its damage
He was left two thirds of a man
He was flown home the next day
I couldn't wait to be by his side
He said he'd lost his legs
But he said it full of pride
He would rather it was he
Who crossed the doorway that day
Its the spirit of our soldiers
That makes them speak this way
Days and weeks pass
As his healing takes its time
Wheelchair bound is my darling James
But a man still in his prime
Many months have passed
As we get on with our lives
To me he's the guy i married
So proud to be his bride
