Two years is too short of a time with someone you love. Especially if they are deployed overseas for the majority of your marriage.
But what if he comes home, but not the way you envisioned it so many times in your head?
This poem is from the point of view of a young military bride.
*This is a pantoum poem I wrote in my college creative writing class. I found inspiration from my brother, who serves in the military as well as Carrie Underwoods' Just A Dream*
