Military Wives Poems & Words of Inspiration
Loving a Marine
Loving a Marine is not always play;
Loving him truly is a high price to pay.
It's being alone with no one to hold,
It's being young and feeling so old.
It's having him whispering his love to you;
It's whispering back that you love him, too.
There comers a kiss and a promise of more,
and in his mind fond memories he will store.
Reluctantly, painfully, letting him go,
while your dying inside from wanting him so.
Watching him leave with eyes full of tears,
standing alone with your hopes, dreams and fears.
It's sending a letter with the stamp upside down,
to your far away love in a far away town.
It's going to church to kneel and pray,
and really meaning the things you say.
Weeks are like months, and months like years.
You wait for the day when you'll have no more fears.
Days go by slowly, how many have passed?
And suddenly you realize that it is here at last!
Yes, loving a Marine brings bitterness and fears,
Loneliness, sadness, and despondent years.
Loving a Marine isn't much fun,
But it is worth the price when the battle is won.
Married to the Corps
Author Unknown
She may not wear the uniform
But she stands proud and tall
Saying goodbye to the one she loves,
A lonely teardrop falls.
She knows her husband's doing
What life had borne him for
And she was to be waiting forever on the shore.
Holding on to dreams and photos,
Yellow ribbons and her heart.
War is not the only thing that keeps the two loves apart.
In peacetime too, she knows the call
Of duty soon to come.
And she must say goodbye again
'Fore the rising of the sun.
Her heart both breaks and beats with pride
As he walks out the door
And time drags on
'Till he comes hom
When your married to the Corps.
