She cries herself to sleep at night
and wakes at the break of day
Gets ready for work and feeds the kids
and then she's on her way

She does what she can to make ends meat
and keep her sanity intact
She wonders where he's at tonight
and prays he's coming back

And she is strong and proud
not much gets her down
And she is faithful and true
She keeps both feet on the ground

She's sacrificed the ultimate
Bound by love and hope
Her man is on the front lines
fighting to come home

She's the wife of a military man
Caught in the middle of a war
She hopes that one day will soon end
She makes sure her kids are protected
As she cries herself to sleep
she does it all, she'll never fall
She's a wonder to you and me


Sometimes with all the goings on these people are forgotten in the shuffle and my heart goes out to them

I agree that sometimes the ones left at home are forgotten.  They shouldn't be.  Thanks for posting this one for them.

I applaud her, and you,  and all the men and women who are fighting the battle.

I thoroughly enjoyed how you conveyed the reality of it all.

Bless you for speaking for them!!!
