The
Military Wife
a Poem |
|
The military wife is a special individual. When she
was a girl, her dreams were bold, as bold as her fine,
free gaze; And every gift of grace and mind was hers
in her younger days. When she was a girl, a golden
girl, with a soul as fine as fire. She could outshine
the brightest jewel that a rich man's love might buy
her. Yes hers could have been the glittering path
through a careless, carefree life. But she fell in
love with an soldier, so she became a military wife. |

Away from the home of her childhood she marched at her
husband's side. For she chose a wide and winding road when she
became a bride. And sometimes the road was a hard one, so
different from what she had planned; And sometimes she wept
for the home she had left as she lay in a foreign land; And
sometimes her steps would grow weary as she followed the drum
and the fife; But she set about making the world her home
because she was a military wife.
She learned to build a hearth for them wherever her man was
sent; And she knelt to plant a garden every time he pitched
their tent. Yes, she always planted a garden though she never
saw it grow, For she knew before the flowers came that she
would have to go. But she left each garden gladly though it
cut her like a knife, For she hoped it might bring some
comfort to another military wife.
To the hardships in her married life she brought one simple
truth, A
promise that once was spoken in the ancient words of Ruth:
"Wherever you go, I will go. Wherever you lodge, I will lodge;
Thy people shall be my people and thy God shall be my God."
She shared his joys and sorrows as they made their way through
life, For she was proud to love a soldier and to be a military
wife.
She bore the weight of worrying what fate might hold in store;
And the wordless fear of waiting when her soldier went to war;
And the nights that she spent fearing that her waiting was in
vain; And the pain of wanting someone she might never hold
again. But she bore his children gladly through uncertainty
and strife, And they never heard her crying for she was a
military wife.
She raised a military family with the faith her love had
taught her;
And she gave the pride she had inside to her son and to her
daughter; And she taught them to love freedom and to know what
it was worth, As they helped her plant her gardens in the
corners of the earth. And she never wished for better than the
road they marched through life. Because she was as much a
soldier as she was a military wife.
