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

As our gift to you, here’s a printable version of this poem, just for you!

Army Wife Network is blessed with many military spouses who share their journey through writing in our Experience blog category. As we PCS in our military journey, bloggers too sometimes move on. Their content and contributions are still valued and resourceful. Those posts are reassigned under "Retired Bloggers" in order to allow them to remain available as content for our AWN fans.
