Military Wife Poem by Jon M. Nelson

Military Wife



She's keeping the home fires burning,
While a dangerous living he is earning.
She has had so many sleepless nights,
While he's away fighting for our rights.

She's always ready to answer the phone,
When she hears his voice she's not alone.
His months away just seems so long,
But she knows she has to remain strong.

She knew what she was getting into,
When she stood with him and said 'I do'.
She realized she had to make sacrifices,
And have to stand steady during a crisis.

When she doesn't know the time length,
She has to search for her inner strength.
She always expects that knock at the door,
When they tell her he won't be home anymore.

No matter what she'll always stand by his side,
Because her heart is filled with so much pride.
It may be difficult but it is a chosen life,
As she stands in the ranks as a Military Wife.
