I AM a Military Wife!
The heartache hits around every corner,
The loneliness stretches for miles;
I desperately need to touch your sweet face,
And be graced with one of your smiles.
…..I am a Military wife!
The days are filled with everyday duties,
Like errands, the kids, the house;
But at night I lie in bed all alone,
And wish I could just hold my spouse.
….I am a Military wife!
Myriad memories that Daddy is missing,
I try vainly to capture them all;
The walks in the park and bedtime, too,
But the effort just seems so small.
….I am a Military wife!
I know what you do is important,
But that doesn’t alleviate my fears;
The impending call to head into battle,
Your sacrifice of blood, sweat, and tears.
…I am a Military wife!
So forgive me if sometimes I rage and cry,
Most nights I am really strong;
It’s just that I miss my lover’s embrace,
So please don’t be gone too long.
…I am a Military wife!
