Another Month Poem by Monicque Dugger

Dark of night has fallen,
Yet somehow, I hear you calling me.
You're out there, being strong and brave,
For all the world to see;
I've grown quite bitter in your absence.
Never showing the cascade of my tears.
Keeping myself from reaching too far.
Just existing throughout the years.
Cancer attempted to over take me,
Weakened the body but, I kept my life.
Your pictures kept close by, reminders,
When you return, you'll want your wife;
so, another month passed by...quiet like,
Another night spent sleeping alone,
And while I'm proud to be your woman,
I just wish that you could come home.
I love you Sundance!
