That is the way love was meant to be. It is supposed to be till death. I love this romantic and moving poem. It has a lot of emotion and a great image.

I wish there were more stars to give. Your poem touched a place in my heart that is not often reached. This piece is beautiful. I am almost at a loss for words.
Thank-you for sharing this.

Comment from unidian
There must have been many wives and girlfriends who had to cope with the guilt men who survive war carry within. Real life, to them, was on the battlefield with their brothers in arms. Back to civilian life, they carry the scars, not always of battle but forever 'why' preys on their mind and those who died do indeed, to them seem better men. Nice to read of one who, through the strength and belief of a good woman, became reconciled.

Comment from cheyennewy
Hi alpacalady....I defy anyone who has ever stood beside the bed of loved one and watch them die, to read this with a dry eye. I certainly could not. I lost my father, my husband and my mother in that order and each time I stood there watching their life ebb. I could just scream as I used my last six today and this poem is worthy of that and even more. I am not usually a fan of long poetry but this one captured me immediately and never let go until the last line. You wrote this very well, your rhyme, flow and structure is well done....bravo and roses at your feet! Blessings....chey

Thank you so much chey. You've sure had your share of losing loved ones; my heart goes out to you. I'm really thrilled you enjoyed this poem, and read it to the end even though it's got that stanza or two extra (I have been trying to keep my poems shorter these days - will get there!) Again, thank you so much my friend, and may I suggest roses at your feet too? xoxoxoxoxoxo
Comment from wazzo
Wow this a gut wrenching poem I am a man who may shortly be in this situation, you see I have a very sick wife. Your poem tells a lovely story of a man who finds life again after knowing the Hell of war and he finds that life through this sweetheart/wife. You make it feel real and the rhymings great, I do like rhyme. Blesiings Albert.

Comment from joan marie
Alabaster pale, ooh like that combo. Interesting perspective in the voice you used to write it. I reatad slowly. It seemed to be the right way. I really slowed down and savored the flavor of your words. Even as the became sad it was still calm. Don't ask me to explain. I get images and that's the way I see it. joan marie

It makes huge sense Joan. To have someone say they love reading your work because they learn something is the best praise a person can get. So thanks, as always, for your continued support buddy xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Open nite a blast. Followed some one who went on for 20 minutes about soldiers dying in Irag and Iraqi's dying in Iraq. Dis 5 mniutes introing what he was going to read. People were leaving. I was next. I rocked The applause was terrific,. They were probably glad I was finished. LOL Therapist came. 2 little boys I know whose dad is in writers critique came to here me. Lorraine to pics. Gonna right a thank you to everyone who helped, with a pic. Went to place where I know a lot of people from Dart leagues and karaoke. Ran into guy i know and danced. He's a retired cop. Sings great had a wonderful time. Then on the way home car quit. 2X took 1 1/2 hours to go 8 miles. It hapepems every time but the fun outweighed the fun. jm

things is definitely lookin' up my friend! You had a wow of a night, got some well-deserved accolades, and glossed over the car sputterin' on ya. That means you're becoming able to cope with life's annoyances a whole lot better, and that you're able to consider the glass half-full instead of half-empty. You go girl! xoxoxoxoxo
