The Hero of the Deployed Soldier
She accepts the separation
She accepts the hardship
She shows an unrelenting dedication
She becomes the man of the home
And continues her duties
Yet she’s expected to wait by the phone
She is a plumber and a mechanic
She is a chef and a housekeeper
She is the voice that prevents panic
She fixes what’s broken
She repairs it better than I
With a simple Thank You hardly spoken
She takes the entire affliction
She is the outlet for her soldier
No wonder she is the soldiers addiction
She is the strength that makes me strong
She’s the voice that keeps me going
She shows me to accept when I’m wrong
She is truly the hero of the war
Without her there would be no victory
There would be no fight left in this soldier
