I have thought of the life
of a Military wife
Her struggles, her sorrows
of everyday life
...
not the ones who wear the green
but the ones unnoticed behind the scenes
the ones who endure the endless nights
the secret affairs without the fights
...
I've thought about this country
This fighting, the war
Things that never really
Concerned me before
...
you left today
back to iraq
you took my heart
in that damn pack
...
i'm laying in bed now
its lonely and cold
trying to sleep
it's endless and old
...
Twas the night before xmas
And all through the house
Not a child was stirring
Not even our mouse
...
i've helped many a freind thru out the years
hug her tight and dry her tears
keep her faithful to her man in green
remind her she is a part of his team
...
I've sat here most of the day
Wondering what to you i'll say
To ease your pain and comfort you
Because i know your not home
...
Mom sits alone
Night after night
Worrying about me
In the dim of the light
...
I chose to fight,
for my country
my homeland
But this political garb
...
