Being In Love With A Military Man Poem by mary catherine

I have thought of the life
of a Military wife
Her struggles, her sorrows
of everyday life
Living without
the man of her dreams
While he is so far
Away it seems
They may never touch
Each other again
Exchange a kind word
Have supper with freinds
They may only have
The time that once was
It is gone, it has been
Its no more, it once was
The love she holds
In her heart for him
Will never diminish
Will never grow dim
For she fell in love
With a military man
He's her life, her heart,
Her dying end.
