.

I signed no contracts.
I swore no oath.
But I made a promise
To have and to hold
To love and to cherish
Till death do us part.
How many times have I heard that long distance love doesn’t work?
And how many times have I talked to my soldier,
Exhausted beyond belief,
But there for me, none the less,
Just calling to make sure I know
I am loved?
He signed the contract,
Swore the oath,
Made the promise,
To do his duty,
To do his job.
He made another promise,
To love and to cherish
Till death do us part.
I am proud of him
For keeping them both.
