He kissed her goodbye...

He kissed her goodbye as he stepped on the train.. she tried her best to be upbeat.. would she see him again ? the guardsman blew the whistle to give the green light.. then at the blink of an eye the train chugged out of sight

Dressed up ready for action she remembered his stance.. looking slightly concerned was her very last glance.. with his head out of the window and his naval cap on his head.. shouting “I Love You’s” as the old engine sped..to board his war ship was his final destination.. Oh how she yearned for the day of his debarkation

Timelessness stood still on that cold winters morn.. when she was left all alone feeling sad and forlorn..looking after their children, two tiny tots.. as she stood over the babies asleep in their cots.. twin boys that may never remember their Dad.. she would constantly talk of him as the best thing that they had

Month after month, and year after year.. no news of her husband just uncertainty and fear.. tho she never gave up hope she would see him again..to escape from her lonliness, heal her heart pain.. so she waited and worried till a knock on her door..there stood her loved one, he was back home once more
