Lisa Weitnauer Poem
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.

Lisa Weitnauer Poem
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.
