The Army Wife

Some days her mind is strong
Some days her heart is weak
It is those times of defined distress
Of which she cannot speak

She worries in her silence
Sometimes bathing in her fear
Fighting away negativity
Every moment he's not near

The role of Mommy and Daddy
Is one she often has to play
Letting him down is not a choice
Her stauchness will not sway

While he stands for his country
She will stand for them
Loving, praying, waiting
She will do anything for him

She cluthes the phone to her side
Always waiting for his call
A thing that means the world to her
And yet it is so small

The normalcy she seeks to find
Begins to slowly slip away
The memory of his sweet voice
Is starting to decay

Loving, praying, waiting
The common of her life
As she stands among the silent ranks
Know as the Army wife.
