MY HERO WITHOUT A WAR
MY HERO WITHOUT A WAR
Can you tell me soldier what it was really like
to spend so much time away from your every loving wife?
Did she cry, kiss your photo and try so hard to pretend
what it would be like together again, when the war was ever likely to end?
There wasn’t a phone, a card or a letter for months at a time
So how would you hear or see the words “When will you be mine”?
How did your love hold tight through all those cold dark nights,
braving the war time, maybe the jungle or life threatening fights?
How did you remember her face, her touch, the smell of her perfume,
when it was sometimes “years” before your love life could resume?
Dancing with strangers trying to live what life you had far away,
trying hard not to get too involved or let your love go astray.
So why all these questions? Is another war coming soon?
No, I don’t think so, just that my hero is coming home too,
but, not from a war or even a fight, just a long loving distance after his
flight,
but, I want him to see, many people share our same sweet sorrows,
as your answers are important to help us believe in our many tomorrows.
