This challenge was to do a layout with the title "Never Forget" I don't know where I got the poem, but here it is:
The Unseen Veteran
To understand military life, or what it feels like to be the proud wife
of a soldier, you need to experience it. One day he was here and now
he is gone....He is not beside me in bed....His scent slowly fades,
as does the memory of his face....I can barely remember the familiar
sounds of him at home. I long for comfort when I have a nightmare.
I want him to hold me. I wait for those comforting letters or phone
calls that come after three months of silence. Now, I look upon single
parents in awe....and I learn to do what they do, until my husband
comes home.
I don't need a man to put a crib together, to take care of the car, or to
take out the trash. I have learned to be empathetic. I have become
self-sufficient. And even though these are wonderful things, I would
give up everything that I have learned to bring him home right now.
When I think that I cannot go on, I rely on my routine so that I can
support my husband while he defends our freedom. And I know that
I am not the only one.
I am an unseen veteran. So are all the other military spouses out there.
We have different battlefields. Our maps have pins in the countries of
worry, heartache and loneliness. Our battles will end when our husbands
are in our arms again.
Until that day, I say thank you to all the invisible soldiers who are there
for each other, who are there for me. We lend a strong shoulder when
needed, and we keep up the brave front at home. The war could not be
won without us.
