The Only Light
I write to you now, and send you all the love,
The devotion and appreciation that I have
For the warmth, the strength, the care
That you show all this time that I'm not there
~
For I know it is a hard, tough life
The life of an army wife
~
I know how you feel waiting for the news,
Every day with the same fear in your heart
But you must always know that if I could choose
We wouldn't spend another second apart
~
For all the hope in any soldier's life
Is the love of his precious wife
~
I know there must be many more tears
Than you would ever let me know of
And I promise that in the coming years
I'll wipe them away from memory with love
~
For there's nothing more courageous in life
Than the unconditional love of an army wife
~
I write to you now, deep into the night,
I write to you for you are the only light
That keeps on shining and never fades away,
You are the light that shows me the way
Back home...
