An Army wife

An Army wife has so much to bear,
She's everything at once, no one
could compare,
When God made her, he had
perfection in mind,
For nowhere on Earth is another of
her kind,


She leads a life not many would
choose,
For her job is the hardest in the
military to do,
She is courageous and strong, one
would say made of steel,
But way deep down is a heart that
can feel,


She stand by her husband, so
proud and so tall,
And waits many nights by the
phone for a call,
She's Mommy and Daddy all rolled
into one,
She'll never rest easy until her
job's done,


She sits all alone and in silence
she cries,
Did I do a good job, is my family all
right?
But deep in he heart she knows
that it's true,
God is right beside her helping
her through.
