A Soldiers Wife
I am away from my family
for sometimes over a year.
I put in long hours
away from those I hold dear
.
Yet sometimes I don't sleep
and sometimes I don't eat.
I sometimes feel like giving in
but I refuse defeat.
This job attacks your spirit
This job attacks your soul.
You sometimes think you'll lose yourself
But you must remember the goal.
I don't wear a uniform
I don't go to work everyday
But my job is important
I help pave the way.
You see my job is easy
yet difficult to do.
Not many can handle it
a few select, could you
I am on the home front
I suspend my life
So someone I love, for you can fight
I am a soldiers wife.
