I copied this from
a friend. It's very true in so many ways and I'm thankful someone could put into words what we go through as a Navy Spouse.
OUR NAVY MEN
It
takes a special kind of woman to love our Navy men. A woman who can smile through her tears. Stay true through the long and
lonely years. Who can love deep and true in spite of all her fears. It takes a special kind of woman to love our Navy men.
A woman who can stand to be alone. When
little things go wrong she must not wail or moan. She must be strong as the deeply buried stone. It takes a special kind of
woman to love our Navy men.
A woman who can be trusted to take a special
care. When searching eyes pull to port, she must be waiting there. With open arms she should unite to make the perfect pair.
It takes a special kind of woman to love our Navy men.
For it takes a special man to dedicate
his life to others. To keep safe our friends, sisters, brothers, fathers and our mothers. To do the things he knows he must
instead of what he’d rather. It takes a special kind of man to sail away from home.
To go far out to sea, to wander and to
roam. To sail along above and below the ocean’s frothing foam. It takes a special kind of man to stand and to be proud.Even
when surrounded by an angry hateful crowd. To do his job beneath that dark and threatening cloud. It takes a special kind
of man to sail away to war. To sail home again never knowing what’s in store. To walk off that boat or ship and still
love you to the core.
Yes it takes a special kind of woman to
love our Navy men.
