| Dear Doris, I have put this on as to how the wives feel. Regards. Neil. As I lay down to sleep, this eve of Christmas morn, ' I slide between the cotton sheets so comfortable and warm. A tinge of guilt comes over me followed by a saddened tear. I say another lonely prayer that only God can hear. I turn the bedside light off and quickly settle in, but it will be a few more hours before my night comes to an end. I lie here all but motionless, eyes wider than the sky. I try to think of happy thoughts, but I still break down and cry. I punch my flattened pillow and lie flat on my back. I'm thinking of my soldier who's bravely serving in Iraq. I finally stop my crying and a calm sets in my heart. For, I know this year will quickly pass, then we'll no longer be apart. My eyes are feeling heavy now, so I send God one last prayer. "God, please protect my soldier while fighting over there!" Author: © 2005 Bradley A Peraino |
