The Desert Takes
by Leandra K BrossardThe Desert takes my husband and makes him a stronger man.
The Desert takes my husband and makes him a lonely man.
The Desert takes my husband and makes him a quiet man.
The Desert takes my husband and makes him a hungry, gritty, sandy,
sobbing, solemn, tired, throbbing, angry, anxious, quelling man.
The Desert takes my husband but his soul is safe with me.
Thank Goodness for little miracles. 12/19/2004 Author's Note: Written the day my husband deployed a second time to the Desert. I had to get something out..

| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 12/20/04 at 10:00 AM such an important first-hand testimony to the soldier's wife's experience, very movingly told. I pray both that the desert relinquishes him fine and well to you soon, and for PEACE ON EARTH one day soon too. |
