Ode to the Military Spouse
No oath is recited or spoken
No ceremony for swearing in
Just a passionate and resolute spirit
When the military spouse journey begins
Independent, but always loyal
With an adventurous, adaptable soul
Fear may shake them to their core
But it only helps their courage to grow
Anchored in a sea that’s uncertain
Not knowing what tomorrow may bring
They shed tears for those lost and hurting
And surround one another with strength
Rooted in brave determination
And a tenacious, humble heart
With steadfast, compassion for others
That keeps them from falling apart
They rise beyond what most can handle
An often unseen and powerful force
With wholehearted loyalty they serve
The military spouse deserves our support
Let’s show them they are not unnoticed
They are brave, steadfast and true
Their loved ones rely on their strength
They deserve our deepest gratitude
