Pay him with love and care
Coming home from the burning sun
Lost, lonely and looking forlorn
Dusty heat of many days
Sites no longer to be bourn
Prison left behind at last
Marching on sand aflame
Confusion of fear then felt
No holding of useless shame
Shrugging off that heavy coat
Hanging of all duty now done
A heavy price his life did pay
Now hoping for future fun
Heartfelt thank him for all he did
Battles he had to taste
Pay him with love and care
Your life that he kept safe

Could be about a military wife whose husband is back from war, or the wife of any breadwinning man whose work (eg building) can be dangerous.

It was for a friend leaving the forces after many years. It was in respect of his wife to their son. But yes the intention could be for a wife of lot of hard working men doing a dangerous job to keep us all safe.

Something about your ink that I can't quite explain! Unique, soft, desirable to read!
Can't find the proper terminology! Love it! :)

I have been given to understand that I write child like. I write stories mostly but do like to play with words. Maybe that is what your looking for. childlike. Lol.

suggest editing out small words like "the" . Tends to amp up the power of images.
