Unimagined Devotion

Author Unknown

Combats, dog tags, night picquet and such
I never knew I would have to learn so much
A whole new language I have learned
After a college degree I had already earned.

Knowledge is never-ending
Never standing still in the corps

There is always something to learn here

And we always must learn more.

I have learned to appreciate distance

For it is all we have ever known

We stand to reap the just rewards

For the fields of love that we have sown.

I never question his devotion

I know he serves two masters

His all protective Lord and his Corps

To protect him from all disasters.

If I ever question his love for me

I could have never married this man

What makes me love him so much more

Is the fact that he takes a stand.

He stands for all that I believe

He loves me with all his heart

I love him with both his masters

And I dare him to every part.

My husband has two masters

But he never loves me less

For the fact God gave me a military man to love

I am eternally blessed.
