ARMY SPOUSE
By Dotty Davis 11-24-2003
As my life unfolds,
I can tell you a lot,
I have much wisdom stored inside.
For I have lived more than most,
And im not yet 22.
Life hasnt been all easy,
I have known some trouble,
But I have more love to tell of than not.
I am a military spouse,
That alone, makes me stand out,
Stand out in a crowd,
Stand out in normal life.
But then again im no normal wife.
Nothing in my world is,
And I wouldnt have it any other way.
I am very proud of my soldier dear.
For he has brought me here,
Europe,
And though it hasnt been all luxury,
I have seen more than most,
And im not yet 22.
Yes, I did leave friends in the past,
And will so do again,
But a letter and pin
Will keep them close.
I packed up and left my hometown, state, and even country,
To follow love, to a foreign land.
Scared as I could be, till I seen my love.
Weve settled down here, had a baby and all,
Hell never know the schools here or any friends,
For now our tour is up,
And we must be on our way.
I only have a minute to spare,
Then we will be flying
To our new home,
Rerooting and meeting new friends,
Maybe if were lucky well run by a few old ones too.
So im sorry if this is hurried,
Catch me down the road,
And ill share more adventures,
More trips and stories I can tell
More than most,
And im not yet 22.
Yes this is what it means to be a Army Spouse
.
This is my life, its a little more than most.
