<b>a soldier's wife </b>(for my Mom)<br>
<br>
you do not see us<br>
driving tanks<br>
you do not see us<br>
marching in ranks<br>
we do not enlist<br>
for only two years<br>
and chase them down<br>
with canteen beers<br>
we don't get paid<br>
for the days we work<br>
we don't get paid<br>
for the meals we cook<br>
we stand at the station<br>
and wave good bye<br>
for the sake of our children<br>
we can't even cry<br>
alone on the porches<br>
we look at our moon<br>
praying to God<br>
you will come home soon<br>
we wait for days <br>
for your orders to sail<br>
then we pray and pray<br>
for no telegraph mail<br>
the children are growing<br>
and still we wait<br>
to see that soldier<br>
come through the gate<br>
the war is over<br>
we lost many men<br>
but the war will be back<br>
and we'll wait again<br>
some will be waiting<br>
all of their lives<br>
so lets remember<br>
our soldiers wives<br>
