THIS WAS A POEM I FOUND ON THE NET FROM AN ARMY WIFE TO HER HUSBAND...HER NAME WAS NOT ON IT SO I CAN NOT GIVE HER CREDIT FOR THIS BUT HERE GOES:
I stand right next to you everyday in the store,
but everywhere I go I have a sense of pride you can't even begin to understand.
For everywhere I go, I carry with me the pride he stands for.
I may not be on the frontline with him
but yet I am his unseen 'battle' buddy
I feel the same pains he feels, when he hurts..I hurt as well.
When he smiles I feel a sense of peace.
I have my OWN set of orders to follow not because I'm ordered to but because I choose to.
I commit myself to that man who passes you wearing his uniform.
That man who is willing to die for yours,
The same man who just weeks ago was tenderly holding me.
My orders are clearly that of supporting him
Proudly representing what it is he stands for
and to be here waiting on him the day he comes home.
I am committed to the military not by signing papers but because I am committed to him.
