I'm a soldier's wife By: Roxie Dean

Here are the words to my new favorite song :) TEAR JERKER (BEWARE)

I'm a soldiers wife By: Roxie Dean


Breaking news from a desert town
smoke and rubble on the ground
the names we do not know right now
and it cuts me like a knife
with a tearful good bye kiss
I send him off to this
but I have gotta stay strong for our kids
I'm a soldiers wife

I run the house
I sleep alone
I live for emails, and the phone calls home
I tell my children he will be alright
and I hope it's not a LIE
I'm a soldier's wife

We do the things we used to do
go to church, go to school
but you could drive a truck right through
the hole that is in our life
my little boy shoots me a grin
and says he wants to be like him
I feel my heart start givin in
I'm a soldier's wife

Sometimes I'm angry
Sometimes confused
I live and die by the evenin' news
but I tell my babies he will be alright
and I hope it's not a lie
I'm a soldier's wife


I pray for strength.
I pray for peace.
I pray that he comes home to me.
and if you would please pray for me
I'm a soldiers wife.

I thought this had such powerful lyrics! Katy you are SO strong to do what you do everyday! I know it gets tough and there isn't much to do in the way of help but if you ever need anything let me know! We'll keep you, preston, the family, and everyone in the same place in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs from flag.
