A Man They Call a Soldier

I know he is always with me Wherever he may be It seems like forever Until we’ll be together He has my body, soul, and heart The ways it’s always been, right from the start I love this man they call a soldier Who carries the weight of a nation on his shoulders Being apart from him is the worst Although, I know he always puts me first I love the life that we create And every time we are together it feels like our first date Where everything feels so exciting and new And you just know in your heart it’s true Sometimes I’m scared when the phone rings Wondering what news it will bring I’d be lost without him in my life For all I know is being his wife It’s so hard when he is gone for so long But I will be brave and stay strong I’m so proud of him, more than words can say So brave is he putting his life on the line every day But I know God will bring him home to me Cuz this is the way it’s supposed to be Together, as always forever Given a choice, I know he’d leave me never.
