Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Written Originally for 'Fill Up a Scroll' Contest Sponsored by Isaiah Zerbst ~awarded 1st Place~

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

Sweetheart I Miss You

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
