My Royal Marine

16/9/2015

I had always said, from the start,
I'd never let a marine have my heart.
But when you walked into my life,
I knew I wanted to be your wife.
 
Although it can sometimes be hard,
I love you whether you're near or far.
And when it comes to you being gone,
The love you give me keeps me strong. 
 
You have given me more than I could have dreamed,
My wonderful, lovely Royal Marine.
A little boy, a wonderful home,
A piece of happiness to call my own. 
 
While we wait for number two,
It reminds me daily how much I love you. 
When your not here, I do feel sad,
But then I remember, you're not just my husband,
Your the boys incredible dad.
 
The distance is great, but our love is greater.
Our love is strong, and it makes me stronger.
Until you get back, you're in my dreams.
My handsome, soul mate, Royal Marine.
