A soldier

She sat in a chair,
Starred into the sun,
The worst of her nightmares,
Had just begun.

Clouds covered her thoughts,
As the rain began to pour,
She just saw her husband,
Walk through the door.

A soldier stood tall,
Tears in his eyes,
Today was the day,
He left his families side.

Before he had gone he placed his lips,
Softly on her cheek,
Told her to be brave,
That he'd be back in one year.

She slowly stood up,
A single tear streamed from her eye,
She wasn't going to let this,
Take hold of her life.

She watched him take off,
So far away,
She smiled as she knew,
He'd be back someday soon.
