Husband

Husband:

lover, friend

father, teacher

playmate, protector;

always taking care of us,

possessing a child-like spirit,

gentle and sweet, tough and firm;

knows when I seriously need a laugh;

he understands me better than anyone else

yet he loves me because of and in spite of myself;

has been to hell & back with me-never dropping my hand,

always able to focus my attention toward the good,

is smart, hilarious, talented, and strong,

has chosen to leave all things familiar

so that he can serve his country

and has continued to serve

for a good part of his life;

half of me is missing,

but duty calls my

lover, friend

husband

soldier

hero
