THE REAL SURVIVORS
As we travel along life's rocky road
So filled with pain and strife
Let's remember the one that's shared the load
She's the Ex-POW wife.
Our memories are filled with days long ago
When we lived the dangerous life
And the one that shares them, as we all know
Is the Ex-POW wife.
Our moods swing like the changing tides
And the notes of the Flutist's life
But the one who endures and always abides
Is the Ex-POW wife.
So when her days on earth are over
And painful memories no longer rife
Dear Lord, make her a bed of sweetest clover
For she's an Ex-POW wife.
