Think Of The Wives

While you go about your daily lives just stop for a moment and think of the wives,
Our men fight in lands far away where the sun is so hot but they are never forgot,
We wait by the phone or for a letter even a text as that is much better!!
To know that our men are safe and sound, It really is hard when they are not around,
The constant fear they may never return from the land far away where the sun fiercely burns,
I miss my daddy you hear them say not just once but every day, he will be home soon is my reply wishing I had a wand to make time fly,
Crossing the days till that soldier of mine drops his bags by the door so we can worry no more,
The days feel like years since you went away you are on my mind every min of everyday,

So think of the wives as you go about your day the burden we carry doesnt go away
