Love Poem: Waiting On a Soldier

Waiting On a Soldier

She sits by the phone and waits

For that one call destined by fate

She wonders if she'll ever get him back

Or if he'll leave by a gunfire crack

She remembers the sound if his voice

At first she starts to rejoice

Then she stops and looks around

Realizing that there is not a sound

The house sits in silent reprieve

All alone she starts to grieve

He's far away on foreign land

And she longs to hold his hand

She wants to feel his arms around her

If she ever will again she is unsure

The phone rings confirming her fear

She'll always be waiting on a soldier here
