Time Apart

This poem is in honor of my anniversary today. My husband wrote it for me last year. He has been gone 3 years tomorrow, so we have 18 months left until he comes home to us.
I love you honey, Happy Anniversary!

As each day the time goes by,
It seems as if I should cry,
But I think of the happiness to be,
Which includes you, the kids and me.
I can't think about the days that went,
So I think about the future,
And I'll give you a hint.
It's joy, peace and most of all love,
Which has been sent from Heaven above.
As we wait for the time for our new start,
We must first pass this test of our time apart.
