Military Man

"I love you," she whispered,
As she watched him on the field.
"I love you," she thought,
When he scored the winning goal.
"I love you," she smiled,
When he asked her to the dance.
"I love you," she laughed,
As he kissed her, on the stage.
"I love you," she cried,
When he bent down on one knee.
"I love you," she rejoiced,
After they both said "I do."
"I love you," she told him,
As they had their wedding night.
"I love you," she grinned,
When the doctor confirmed their hope.
"I love you," she screamed,
As she watched him fly away.
"I love you," she whispered,
As she read his loving letters.
"I love you," she mourned,
When the news came to her door.
"I love you," she cried,
As she clutched his noble flag.
"I love you," she whispered,
As she stroked her swollen belly.
"I love you," she laughed,
When her boy's eyes showed joy.
"I love you," she thought,
As his duplicate grew strong.
"I love you," she said,
When her hands were pale and weak.
"I love you," she knew,
As she herself came to rest.
"I love you, and now I'm by your side once more."
