Soldiers Wife 

We weren't given a weapon 

We weren't given a medal .. 

Or a uniform ..

we weren't trained how to love them 

but we did .. 

We weren't tranied to go to war .. 

But the real war was when they got back .. 

How does one .. teach another how to be a family again?

We coped on our own for so long without them .. 

That we got used to doing everything on our own 

So when they came back .. everything was different ..

Even the children had grown up some without them ..

What do you say to a child when thier father acts a lil different ?

 What do you say to Soldier when he can't to normal civilian life ? 

What to do tell him ? do you tell him  things will get better ?

Do you tell him the truth .. that nothing makes sense anymore ?

I have more questions to these then i have answers .
