Little Sara ran into the house with her freckles and a letter 'Mommy, it's a poem from daddy!' Mommy wipes her hands on her apron and turns the heat down on the stove 'O dear! Sara flys into mommys arms and mommy sits Sara on her lap and says,'Lets read it together darling.'
To Sara and mommy, To my two special ladies.. Sara, I miss you so much but this war keeps dragging on. Daddy will be home some day to hold you in his arms. You are like sweet candy canes hanging on my heart and the angel of my joy. Mommy, the dreams of your kiss and love is the strength of my heart and hope and you are the apple of my eye. Daddy won't be long before he is with his precious girls. Daddy won't be long. I miss you ladies so much. I love you! Daddy Sara just sat and hugged mommy for the longest time. Through all the tears rocking away in that chair a cab pulls up in the pouring rain. A knock on the door. A man in uniform. A big wide smile. It's daddy!
Brought tears to my eyes how I wish my man had come back into mine and my childrens lifeves then life would not have been so complicated.Thank you cafe for sharing this lovely poem with a happy ending.Bless you dear knight.
