Yes,I Shall Wait

Oh my beloved,
As you go off to war,
I shall wait your return
In one piece

I shall be a single teen aged mother
Till your return.
Hopefully, your return
Is not with mournful trumpet call
Or Colours dipped on cobbles bare
As normally many do

Till then I shall await my Love,
For you,
As a widow
At this young age
It wouldn't do

Style / type: 
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Editing stage:

Nice work! But consider this:

Instead of:
Till you return,
Hopefully, your return

Till your arrival,
Hopefully, your homecomming

always, Cat

And reply in kind, thanks.

hope this piece
can also now
be to rest
Amen
