Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

I sat alone in the house and waited for the man I love to come home.

I have done this every single day.

That was before this little bird flew in with a message attached to its legs.

I have read the message and smiled.

My husband is coming home from that war in Iraq.
