Behind ever soldier.

Behind every Soldier there is a Girl
with tears in her eyes that she will never let fall
so full of pride and admiration she cant help but share
with a smile on her face as she waves good bye
and a hole in her heart when he is gone

Behind every Soldier there is a Girl
with his dog tags around her neck
and her cell phone on her pillow
waiting on the call she prays will come
with faith that he loves her even when he can't

Behind every Soldier there is a Girl
with pictures to keep her company
sitting alone at the movies, in the park, at restaurants
but always holding him near in her heart
with Love and understanding no matter what comes to pass

Behind every Soldier there is a Girl
With more strength than most could muster
more compassion than any feel is due
and when all others think she is crazy
She is proud because they don't know a love like hers

Behind every Soldier there is a Girl
with only one thing on her mind
whether he is 1000 miles away or just down the street
how lucky she is to have one of the true heroes of the world
Her life, her love, Her Soldier.

    Hey girl :) i'm not sure how long ago you submitted this. but just now that i'm an army wife as well and my husband is currently deployed to iraq right now. it is one of the hardest things you will EVER go through. but when they come home it's such an amazing feeling, like the distance was well worth it. i'm also pregnant with our first child so it's even harder for me this time around. but i know God will bring him home safely. keep your head up girl.

    I know how you feel. it's hard but you just have to be strong. not everybody can go through this. it only shows your true strength, and love for staying with him. its the love that's waiting for him back home that keeps him going! good poem 5/5 =)
