Invisible Wings

I know a woman so brave and strong that married her sweetheart and made a new home. They were determined to make a good life, so he joined the Marines and went off to fight. They lived in countries so far away and had two sons during their stay. Then they came home and settled down, somewhere in North Carolina, a military town. One day the news came he had to leave for awhile, although she was crying, he only saw a smile. He called her as often, as he was allowed,she sent him packages that drew a crowd. Then the news came, he had been hit, a roadside bomb, and it was real bad. Her eyes welled up with tears of fear, hearing the words she hoped never to hear. Strong and determined to find out the facts, her husband was severely injured in Iraq. She told the men that had come bearing the news that eve, this man my husband, who just happens to be a Marine, is my whole world, and has always been. She made certain his care was very good, and beside his bed, this brave woman stood. She left her sons in the care of her mom, and told them both, soon you can come. I know now, God gave her wings, but from us they are hid.
