A Soldiers Wife

He gets up at 4 a.m, and puts on his ACU’s And laces up his combat boots He is my man, this is my life For I am a soldiers wife He means the world to me He is my hero and who I want to be When he is gone and I am all alone I have a lot to shoulder He is my man, he is a soldier I miss him so much that inside I ache Sometimes, I wonder if my heart will break When I cry, I cry to myself, alone I keep focused and charge ahead All the while sleeping alone in our big cold bed He is my husband, and I am his wife I couldn’t be prouder of his chosen life Even as I cry When I kiss him goodbye I know what he does, he does for us To keep us safe and to sleep in peace through the night It’s hard to not hold him or kiss him goodnight To not hear I love you and it will be alright It’s so hard living here on my own But I know that he will be coming home I cry myself to sleep each and every night All the while knowing that he may have to fight Defending our freedom In some far away land I know we will make it, because we are meant to be I feel it deep down inside when he says he loves me I think of him every moment of every day And I know he is thinking of me when he is away He is my man, this is my life For I am a soldiers wife.
