I was a military wife for 35 years and had to say good-by many times, when the dove was flying and when it was grounded. This is for those who must sent their loved ones off, uncertain of their return. We can only put them in God's hands.


Remember Love

I remembered the loneliness at your leaving
But you had to when push came to shove
I remembered my desparate cleaving
But I forgot to remember Love

I remembered the bags piled at the door
You'd misplaced your hat and your glove
I remembered the sad drizzel began to pour
But I forgot to remember Love

I remembered the fear as it fell
Upon my heart like an injured dove
I remembered you saying all would be well
But I forgot to remember Love

I remembered your face as it shone peace
I remembered there was Heaven above
I remembered some day wars and pain would cease
At last I remembered Love

Respected Poet,

The remarkable poem with masterpiece of Art.

God bless you.

The poem is so close and natural way of rhythm.
One of the finest craft of work, e'er to read again and again, to shun my pain.

The great art to continue from you for ever.
