My mum and dad only knew each other for a few weeks and he was off to ww2 for 3 years, so you don't need a long time , if its right its right. Your poignant poem made me think of them. Nice one, Harry.

Hi Harry,
It takes a lot of strength and ability to handle stress when you marry a soldier. This poem shows it hurts on both sides. The wife misses her husband and worries about him getting hurt or killed and soldier worries about the hurt he is causing and also about his danger. This goes for a man married to a military woman also. But this shows true love can last through any trials.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great weekend

P S Just to let you know, I have just published a book called The Interloper (and other stories in prose and poetry) by Joan Pechter.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
What a beautifully romantic poem. I have always thought of the women who married military men and first responders as being very strong women to be able to let them go do their jobs knowing what could happen. thanks for sharing.

Comment from Wendy G
Well composed, and I imagine the thoughts here are very realistic for all who are married to a person in the military. It's always difficult to leave, and for the partner to be left. Well said.

I think you're absolutely correct Harry, particularly if one's country is in a theatre of war. they sit at home waiting for the news, and cringing every time they hear a knock at the front door, beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

Comment from Ulla
Well, what can I say. My first marriage was to a Navy man who so happens to be the father of my, our daughter. We had many happy years together and then it came to an end. Today, we are the best of friends. Nothing to do with the military. Ulla:)))

Thank you so much Dolly for your insight and review. I had written this poem many years ago, so, I was not too good then.

Harry,
This wonderful poem demonstrates the special people who marry a military person. I know it's in the first person, but many women and men who work hard in the military, many in dangerous situations, have spouses that sometimes endure more than other married people.
Your poem is a beautiful romance poem.
Best wishes,
Harry,
Cindy
