| My Soldier’s Mom My child, you glow in uniform In pride I live, my heart so warm I have such precious thoughts cascade Some old, some new, not one will fade How hard that day we said good-bye The joy, the pain, etched in my eye You left to serve our Country well My perfect one, my tears did swell No better soldier could there be For in my love, that’s all I see Oh how I pray for you each day Be safe, be well, God guide your way I keep your Home in wait with me Your Mom will guard it faithfully How great the day when you’ll return We’ll talk and talk, night-lights to burn My Soldier’s Mom, is who I am While you do proud, for Uncle Sam ©2002Roger J. Robicheau |
| My Mother’s Soldier I think of her in treasured ways Of all those years through watchful days She nurtured me to grow up proud Now that’s a fact I’ll shout out loud Her awesome love wells deep inside Her magic gift will never hide I know she thinks of me a lot She always will, her lesson taught I thank you God for all she is My friend, my guide, my total wiz What does my mother mean to me? Look in my eyes, she’s there to see My Mother’s Soldier, yes I am While I stand watch for Uncle Sam Don’t ever doubt who is the best Her care exceeds the toughest test ©2002Roger J. Robicheau |
| Army Wife by Dana L. Self This is for the young women that are waking up at 6 a.m. every morning, laying out clothes and packing three lunches for those small precious children that they have been left alone to care for. This is for the pregnant Army wife wondering if her husband will make it home in time to watch their miracle happen. This is for the childless Army wife, living in a town or on a base alone where she is a complete stranger to her surroundings. This is for the women that feel like a third leg when they go out with their friends and their husbands. This is for the Army wife that canceled all her plans to wait by the phone, and even though the phone broke up and cut off every time you spoke to him, you waited anyway. This is a pledge to the women that cry themselves to sleep in an empty bed. This is to recognize the woman that felt like she was dying i~side when he said he xad to go, but smiled for him anyway. This is for tjose of you that are faithfully in that long line at the post office once q month, jandling 2 large boxes and 2 small children like a pro. his is for that woman that decided to remodel the house to pass time, and then realized that0she had no idea what she was doing and sighed and wished she had a little help. This is for all the lonely nights, all the one-person dinners, and all of the wondering thoughts$because y} haven7t heard from him in days. This is for the sad Army wives, the angry Army wives, and tle strong Army wives. A0toast to you for fallinw apart, and putting yourselves back together. Because a pay check ksn't enough, a body pillow in youz jed is no consolation, and a web cam can never co}pare. This is for all of yow no matter hw easy or hard this was for you> Our soldiers are brave,`they qre heroes, but so are we. So the next time someone tells you that they would never marry an Army guy, don't bother explaining to them that you can't control who you fall in love withn Just think of this and0nod your head, know that you are the stronger woman. Hold your heads up0high, hang that flag in your front yard, stick 100 magnets on your car, and then give yourself a pat on the back. Be proud to be the woman that you are, be proud to(be an Army wine. |
| My Marine Has Got Your Back I am a young American girl, with a boyfriend soon to go. There are times I'm terrified in a way most never know. I bite my lip, and force a smile as I watch my boyfriend pack. My heart may break, but I am proud ~ My Marine has got your back. I am a Marine. Serving Proudly, standing tall. I fight for Freedom, yours and mine by answering this call. I do my job while knowing, the thanks it sometimes lacks. Say a prayer & I'll soon come home ~ It's me who's got your back. |
| The Seabee This man I call a friend is one that's there till the end You've got a powerful stride it's filled with American Pride When you left I shed some tears but it doesn't compare to your fears I would watch the evening news hoping to see you in your dress blues I prayed you'd come home with out a broken bone You put your life in danger so we could have freedom forever You defended our nation without any hesitation Where ever your duty might be you'll always be my friend, the Seabee Jackie Babb Copyright ©2006 Jackie Babb |

|br> What else can I say Tears of joy; oh boy Ships coming in Sailors home again Trees with yellow ribbons all around Can be seen from Nashville down town Ole Glory waves high in the sky Like the eagle when he flies The sun shone down what a beautiful day To welcome the troops Hip Hip Hurrah Streams of joy, streams of peace Everything is now complete What a day this has been We're going home again Written by Betty Merritt Marine Veteran |
