| | I Am A Soldier Too |  | Please do not forget us, we are the ones that get left behind.
While you sleep I am often awake filled with worry.
As you start each day with your loved one, I start mine alone.
And sometimes, I feel like I am a soldier.
I didn't sign up to fight.
I will have no parade held in my honor.
Though I sacrifice each day,
There are no medals no high awards
But, sometimes, I feel like I am a soldier.
I gave this country my best,
I have fought the good fight.
I am often called the spouse of a soldier.
Yet, sometimes I feel like I am a soldier.
Find a way to honor me for I have a part in your freedom too.
I stand proud I look straight ahead.
I will fight to the very end.
Sometimes I feel like I am a soldier.
Think of me when you think of our soldiers far away.
When you wave the flag to honor our own wave it high for me.
I am the family that is left behind.
And I know that I am a soldier too. | Janna Rowe
