Member Poem

 
 
How I wish I had him here
Now when I’m in bed...
But he is thirty miles away
And my feet are cold as lead!
 
Our two babes sleeping near me
Oh, I love them dearly.
The little girl has a face like his
I see the likeness clearly.
 
Tomorrow, and just one more day,
Then we will be together,
I hope we never more will part
I could hold him – get a tether!
 
Our lives are so short...
Yet... this ...week... has... been... so... long...
