Loving A Marine

Loving a Marine is not always gay
Loving him truly is a high price to pay
It's being along with nothing to hold
It's being young, but feeling old
It's loving him whisper his love for you
It's whispering back that you love him too
There's always a kiss and a promise for more
As his ship slowly glides away from the shore
Reluctantly,painfully letting him go
While dying inside from wanting him so
Watching him leave with eyes filled with tears
Standing alone with your worries and fears
It's sending a letter with the stamp upside down
To a far away love, in a far away town
It's going to church, to kneel and to pray
Asking God for his safety day after day
Days go by- no mail for a spell
You wait for some word to hear that he's well
Then a letter arrives and you're given in
To open his letter and read with a grin
Yes, he is well and misses you so
And sends all his love, he just wants you to know
Weeks are like months, months are like years
You wait for the day when you'll have no more fears
Days go by slowly- how many have passed?
Then, suddenly, the day comes at last!
Yes, loving a Marine isn't much fun
But it's worth the price when the battle is won
And remember he thinks of you every day
While in a strange town, in a land far away
So love him and miss him and hold your head high
Be strong and have faith- wipe that tear from your eye
He's honored among all others, not just one of the crowd
He is a Marine, one of "The Few, The Proud"

I don't know who wrote this, I got it off of a friends website dedicated to her husband. The same with the next poem I'm going to post (which will actually appear above this one)
