Waiting and waiting in the pouring rain
A mother of five struggles with daily life
She provides a lot but can still feel the pain
She sits there pregnant, three months until due
She prays her husband will return before the month of June
“I will make it” he says “for that baby is mine”
He has priorities, but his family is still number one
He’s determined to see his baby son

This poem here was a literacy activity I had to complete ASAP. The activity was about making our own poem about the ANZAC soldiers and what they thought, what others thought, how their families felt etc. My main character in my poem is based on the mother, because I really thought about how much the mothers missed their husbands and how the children felt when they were waving goodbye to their one and only father.
