Miners Wife

Not sure if you can read this so ill type it out. 

                 A Miners Wife 

A gentle kiss to say goodbye,

He sees the love within her eyes, 

Please be careful she will always say, don't worry dear, it'll be okay.

He holds her tight and shows no fear, 

She holds him tighter, holds back her tears.

Now out the door to earn his pay, she sits head bowed, begins to pray.

She watches his headlights go out of sight, in early morning, or late at night. 

She never knows when he will come home, the work is hard, the days are long.

She tries so hard to hide her fears, keep the children safe and near. 

God blessed her heart, he made her tough, with a will so strong, and a gentle touch. 

A special woman to share a life, God's special gift, a Miner's wife!!

I can't put into words how correct this poem is. I am so in love with it, and I know it's not only hard to be a miners wife but also be a miner itself. The saddest part is knowing Paislee is waiting patiently for her daddy to come home but might not see him for 3 or 4 days due to his long hours and her being asleep when he goes to work and comes home from work.
