THE ARMY WIFE
He takes her from the home she knows to lands of which are new
Survival in an unknown place becomes her test of truth
Her burdens are of many and his thanks sometimes are small
She keeps her faith through thick and thin and makes the best of all
She lives with some uncertainty know not what dawn may bring
But he knows nothing stops his girl from doing anything
Whether star or stripe or bar adorns his collar for his strife
Nothing means more to a soldier than the one he calls his wife.
