THE MARINE WIFE

“Darling, I Love you,

I miss you, too”

Words from the wife

Of the Proud and the Few

Separations are always

A part of your life

When you choose to become

A Marine’s loving wife

Sometimes they’re gone

Just a night or two

But this year I counted

Two hundred and two

Discipline at home

Is your job as well

And you can’t always scare

With tonight you will tell

With the pains involved

Why do you stay?

Because you love him

You live life this way

You do lots of laundry

With lots of green

But that’s what happens

                                When you love a Marine
