Military Wife
Military Wife
At age nineteen Sara made the choice to say the words "I do"
She left without looking back
She had to hide her tears
She went to a place unknown to her
An army base called Fort Bragg, North Carolina
They got a place to call their home
But it was pretty bare
All they had was each others love
So there was nothing they would fear
Sara and Tyler were married for a year
Yet little did she know Tyler would get that call
You've been put on active duty
A month went by and it was time for Tyler to leave
She stood tall and proud to watch her husband go off to war
She didn't shed a tear
She knew she had to be brave and strong
And pray for his safe return
She'd wait by her phone every night
To hear the comfort of his voice
Stretching over thousands of miles
It was almost like he was right there
She'd worry every minute of the day
Thinking is my husband going to be ok?
Months went by and she got the word
She jumped for joy and praised the Lord
For her honey was coming home
There is no harder job
Than to be a military wife
Taking care of her family
While worrying about her husband
Who was serving in Iraq
But everyday makes her stronger being a military wife
Dedicatied to my beautiful sister and my brother in law who served in
Operation Iraqi Freedom
