Military Wives

We are Military Wives.

We don't care where the orders send him, as long as we can follow.  

We make life long friends in hours. 

We swell with pride when he puts on his uniform. 

We feel our hearts break when he comes home with deployment orders. 

We stay strong for our men, our children, our families & his.

We cry only when the doors are closed, the laundry done and the children in bed. 

We cry only when the world cannot see. 

We hide our aching hearts when people ask how we are, and hold our heads high when we want to crumble. 

We tell ourselves that everything is ok, even though he hasn't called in 3 weeks. 

Our husbands have a call to duty and so do we. 

He protects the country with his strength, his honor, and his life.  

We protect the home front with our strength, our pride and our tears.
