The Nomads End

I move from place to place
                                                                  Never settling 
                                                         As I'm just about adjusted 
                                                            We're on the go again
                                                             I'm a military spouse
                                                             Standing tall and true

                                              Gaining strength with each passing day
                                                   Making new friends along the way
                         Always finding new ways to tell the kids about the end of our stay
                                                       Drying their tears as they lay

                                                    Gaining wisdom from what i learn
                                                                          But 
                                                      Theres no medal for me to earn

                                                       Standing behind the member
                                                        Doing what has to be done

                                                 Theres a postcard i one day will send
                                     like the sign on my beach house that will read
                                                                "The nomads End"
