Marine Wife's Prayer

Give me greatness of heart to see, the difference between duty and his love for me. Give me understanding so that I may know,when duty calls him, he must go. Give me a task to do each day,to fill the time when he’s away. When he’s in a foreign land,keep him safe in your loving hand. And when duty is in the field, please protect him and be his shield. And Lord, when his deployment seems so long, please stay with me and keep me strong.


A Marine Wife has so much to bear, She's everything at once, no one could compare, When God made her, he had perfection in mind, For nowhere on Earth is another of her kind. She leads a life not many would choose, For her job is the hardest in the military to do, She is courageous and strong, one would say made of steel, But way deep down is a heart that can feel. She stands by her husband, so proud and so tall, And waits many night by the phone for a call, She's Mommy and Daddy all rolled into one, She'll never rest easy until her job's done. She sits all alone and in silence she cries, Did I do a good job, is my family alright? But deep in her heart she knows that it's true, God is right beside her helping her through. Marine Wife
