A Marine's Wife

A Marine's wife is full of glory.
She sees in his eyes his full life story;
She's a patient woman of great understanding.
She states her opinion and is rarely demanding.

In moments of sadness or unexpected sorrow,
she'll liven the day for a better tomorrow.
She gives him warmth when his life is cold,
for he holds the key to her heart of gold.

Her ultimate test of being a Marine Corps wife,
is bearing the absence of the man in her life.
"My duty comes first," she remembers him saying
"I may go abroad, but for you I'll be praying."

Her reward will come, very soon one day
when her Marine comes home for a lengthy stay.
For this is their castle, she is the queen;
A very proud wife, wife of a U.S. Marine.
