The Army Wife

Author Unknown

He takes her from the home she knows

To lands of which are new

Survival in an unknown place

Becomes her test of truth

Her burdens are of many and

His tanks sometimes are small

She keeps her faith through thick and thin

And makes the best of it all

She lives with some uncertainty

Knows not what dawn may bring

But he knows nothing stops his girl

From doing anything

Whether star or stripe or bar

Adorns his collar for his strife

Nothing means more to a soldier

than the one he calls his wife.
