It never fails
When you meet someone new.
They always ask,
"Just who are you?"
I tried to come up
With the best answer;
And for a long time
Not much could I muster.
But lately it seems
An answer I can give.
It is nothing fancy
But true as I live.
I am a woman;
A wife and a mother.
I am one who can face
Any kind of weather.
A Military spouse
To which I am proud
A smile to cover
The pain that I shroud.
I am the one
Who keeps the house clean;
Who stays by his side
And supports his dream.
I am loyal to him;
I never stray.
Love and trust,
I will not betray.
My smile flashes
To give the look.
A fairy tale family?
Perhaps in a book.
But that is not all-
Not all to me.
There's more to being
The woman you see.
The truth to me
Is hard to face.
Hard to swallow
The fall from grace.
I am the one
Love does not touch.
I am the one
Who must want too much.
I am the one
Who feels the pain,
With everything to lose
And nothing to gain.
I am the one
Who betrayal struck.
The one, I guess
Too stupid to duck.
The one who saw
Him stray from me.
Who heard the blame
But did not see.
I am the one
Who was denied.
My love lived
While his love died.
He took on friends
He wanted me to believe
But the things he told them
Only meant to deceive.
So if by chance
We meet one day
Ask who I am
And this I will say:
"I am the one
You will never see.
Hear of yes
But never know me.
I am the one
Who gave all that I could.
I am the one
Who did what I should.
The love I gave
Was not enough.
He fell away
When things got tough.
My love remains,
But to this day,
I am the wife
He hides away."
