well this one i wrote for a friend while he was in iraq--he asked me to help him describe in words his love for his wife--he told me how he felt and i came up with this poem --hope you like it as much as his wife did!
Separation
The days are short and the nights are long
since I have been gone.
My love for you is still growing strong
even though I am alone.
I left willing to take on all
now I feel weak and ready to fall
but the love and courage you send
will help me make it to the end.
Our hands will meet again real soon
and our hearts will sing a sweet tune.
Then our minds will be at rest
for we have passed this trying test.
The test of separation and time
and I thank GOD he made you mine.
