The Wounded Soldier - Part Three

     He travelled home to see his family, which consisted of his mother, father and sister.  He was so happy to see them again.
     He read books while he recuperated from his injury.  Over the months, he grew better and could walk around again.  It was good to be home again, he thought.

     "A princess," he said vaguely, when he saw her face.
     She breathed in sharply when she saw the wound, wiped his brow, then cleaned and bandaged the gash in his leg.
     "Why don't you take a drink?"  she said, offering him some water to drink, propping his head up in her arms.  She got him some food and then went on, leaving him for others to take care of.

The Wounded Soldier - Part One

     Dedicated to Devon.

     More than one hundred years ago, a wounded soldier lay on the ground.  All around him was silence.  He wondered how long he would live.  He wondered if he would ever see his mother again.  He leg hurt terribly.  Someone came towards him and asked him how he was.
     "My leg hurts," the soldier managed to gasp, despite feeling faint.
     "I'll see to that," replied the woman's voice.

Under The Floorboards

     Later on in my childhood from when we lived in Sweden, we moved to England where we lived in the country, in an old house with loose floorboards.  I believed in fairies at the time, and remember writing them letters which I placed under the floorboards.  I was flabbergasted the next week when I found they hadn't even written back!

A Peaceful Feeling

Stress and strain
Again and again
Overcame
Or so it seemed.
Then I prayed.
A peaceful feeling
Overcame me
And I knew
Just what to do.
A peaceful feeling
Overcame me
And I knew
Just what to do.

A Pie

     In my younger years (slightly younger), I met a man at church to whom I made an unfortunate remark about his ancestor, a remark which sounded almost like an insult, although it wasn't meant to.  It just came out wrong.
     He was so angry that I made a quick exit, and baked him a pie, which I gave to him the next week.
