She though she would never
Hear from her husband again,
But she had prayed forever,
Hoping that he would at least have written;
For days, weeks, months, and years,
Time went by without a word;
She cried in the lonely night lost tears
For a man whose voice had gone unheard.

He had three children and a wife
Who were his only beloved,
But the military did not know he had a life;
So they made him reside under a budget.
He had not written them in years
And when he did he got a teddy bear
For his only girl, to aide her against fears;
For his wife and two boys, with all the care,
He wrote them a letter on a crumbled card,
Expressing all his unforgotten emotion
And it must have been very hard
To come out state all of it in one notion.

Eight years after her husband was drafted,
On one rainy afternoon before the porch
Was a teddy bear a box, he had crafted;
It was not much, but the passing of a torch
And an attached card stated
All of a good man's most intimate feeling
In words to make the insatiable stated,
In paragraphs that has words so appealing.

"My Darling, you won't even believe
The things that I've been blessed to have seen;
I have been to places so misconceived
Such as some huts built in the driest ravine;
I have also been to ninety or so lakes
In which myriads swim alongside with man
To show us we have what Eco-unity takes,
And if I can try to harmonize, then you can;
I climbed to the peak of an exorbitant mountain,
Where I had faced adversity head on;
Then again, I was relieved after seeing a fountain
So luxurious that it's beauty still spreads on.

I know you heard words from the court martial
That was not so pleasant nor was it pleasing;
Let say that what you were told is partial,
They had no evidence to say what's appealing
For you and the children to initially hear;
They had said I had died in battle of the war,
But I was neither anywhere to nor near
Death; I don't know what they said it for;
I am truthfully alive and well,
But must importantly, I miss you;
As you obviously can tell,
And I long to endlessly kiss you.

Truly enough, I was caught in battle;
However, I conquered odds and fought back;
We both know every horse drops its saddle
And the only way to reacquire is to backtrack;
Something that I consider myself doing now
As I write you this remarkably touching letter
With the provision of a return to you, I vow;
I hope the truth makes you feel a tad better.

That teddy bear is for my princess;
She deserves more but it's all I can afford,
Besides a love that is real stupendous;
I've won the congressional militant man award,
But no reward is greater than your own child;
I honestly have to say that it's what I believe,
Seeing our children will only me more thrilled,
As I discern the growth of what we'd achieved.

Thank in advance
From your dear husband
With utmost, respectful romance
For your ever so good loving."

And the attached card stated just that,
Word for word and paragraph by paragraph;
That is all it was to read as she sat;
Their youngest son could not help, but to laugh;
As for the eldest, well, he was more wise,
Because he asked the mother, "Where is he?"
Hoping his mother'd know what he realized;
The rain had smeared the address to a blur to me.
