He too, needs his wife...

He also needs his wife, more than ever before. He works away. Battling with strenuous work in the heat, day after day. Doing his best to keep both the client and his family happy and striving for sanity in the meantime. Up before the sunrise and finished well after sunset. It’s clockwork out there. Once the alarm goes until his head hits the pillow, not a minute wasted. She, the queen of the empire is missing him, one person. The strong loving husband and caring father of the tribe. He misses them, the entire family. Every single one of them. The laughter. The smiles. The look of unconditional love in their eyes. The cuddles. The kisses goodnight. The family group hug. But the only contact with the sole reason he works away (his precious family) is by phone until he arrives home again weeks later. Once he arrives home he must catch up on the routine chores and duties which have built up and amounted immensely during his absence. This time spent at home with his family is what he embraces and cherishes most in this life until he is quickly swept back into the sacrifice of working away to support his loved ones. He truly understands how difficult it gets for his wife at home dealing with life while her husband is away. He does this not because he wants to, but for purpose, with best intentions in attempt to financially secure the future of his family in this expensive society of high expectations. Ahh, if only there were a better option. The countless unnecessary and pointless arguments initiated by his queen sucks his soul away until he is empty and lifeless. Hoping for a better day the heart gently weeps as the alarm sounds for work again. He too, needs his wife. More than ever before. And quite possibly more than she could ever imagine....

Beautiful expression :) must be hard to stay away for days at a stretch

It certainly is. Nothing in this life is easy. However the more difficult things may get, the more rewarding the outcome. As they say "absence makes the heart grow fonder"; and through hardship successfully the stronger the relationship.

So nice! Did you write it? 😊

Guilty as charged. Very easy to express when translated from heart to mind in real time as you're experiencing it.
