The beautiful Bride waits for her husband..... <br />Who is fighting far away, away in the mountains.... <br />Doing his duty, the duty of guarding the nation..... <br />The nation he loves, which is his own..... <br /> <br />But the bride is waiting, for a glimpse of her husband..... <br />For a loving word from him...for that loving look she expects.... <br />The wait moves on seconds, to minutes..... <br />days to week, into a month........ <br /> <br />Eagerly waiting for the day, when he comes...... <br />Takes her in his arms, and showers her with love..... <br />She has been dreaming.....about...a life with him.... <br />But then she is waiting, waiting as a bride........... <br /> <br />At last comes the day......when there comes a message..... <br />The waiting is passing by and the reunion is nearing.... <br />Bride’s heart misses a beat....she looks up with joy... <br />With tears in her eyes...with hopes on her lips..... <br /> <br />She smiles at the man..standing by..... <br />She shyly looks up, to see a stranger...... <br />With a serious face and a sad look…… <br />She knew the answer she knew what has happened, <br /> <br />Sadly though, very slowly, the head is bent.... <br />And the Bride goes into a silence..... <br />A stone silence....she knows the answer...... <br />And she waits...waits and waits.................<br /><br />suja nair<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bride-of-a-soldier/
