The Courage of My Army Wife!

This poem was written this morning and sent to me by one of the sweetest men I know. He is retired Army, but he is also my CO with the Tennessee State Guard. I asked if I could share this with you and he agreed. For every Army wife and (DUDE), your courage does not go unnoticed! And if you share this, PLEASE give the author credit. He deserves it and it's the right thing to do. ~Paula~
Those who give most are the families at home
The wives and the children, adrift and alone
Not knowing the fates of the soldiers they love
When all they can do is send prayers up above

The soldiers at least have each other to hear
Their worries and trials, their doubts and their fear
With soldiers in front and with soldiers behind
They face it together, so fate has been kind
To allow that the troops may assist one another
And they become family…and closer than brothers

We TROOPS stand in awe of the courage made known
Of the family that’s waiting to greet us back home
Courage that’s greater than risking your life
THAT is the courage of my Army WIFE!
