Loving A Marine The days may seem long, but that's okay Because they come and fade away. Loving a Marine is a beautiful task, It takes many things that one may lack. It takes courage, love, and faithfulness too, Also communication that is shared between the two. Loving a Marine can be hard as well, It can leave you longing for more and not feel so swell. Yes, the time does feel slow, But that shouldn't keep you feeling so low. Loving a Marine is found in many ways, You can find it anywhere every day. From mothers, brothers, sisters, and fathers, To friends, cousins, enemies, and lovers. Loving a Marine is something I would never trade, Thinking of him keeps me strong in every way. The pictures, letters, and Marine items I hold onto, Keep me smiling and hopeful in everything I do. Loving a Marine should fill you with pride, To know they are protecting you from every side. They fight a battle that is hard to win, But will claim victory in the end. Loving a Marine is something special I feel, It's something no one can break down or steal. Knowing I have a man so noble and brave, Makes prince charming seem so lame. Loving a Marine can take all your energy and might, It's worth every minute for that one day he's in sight.

True Love Waits As I lie here alone once again, I think of the night I first said yes; when you asked me if this is what I wanted. We both knew that it would be a long and hard three months. But it was then that I first told you that I would wait. After that night, things were so easy, we fit together so well. I was feeling something that I had never felt before, I was beginning to fall in love with you. I knew then that I wanted to marry a Marine and that I would be a Military Wife someday. I knew then that I had to wait. As months went by we became closer and closer. But so did that day, that dreaded day. May 22nd – a day that I hate. We gave our hugs and said our goodbyes. Then I watched you drive away, so far away. I promised you then that I would wait. In the beginning it was horrible. I was sick, I was scared, I didn’t know how to live without you. I must have read that first letter a thousand times. When I wrote you each night, I assured you that I would wait. Those thirteen weeks were hard, real hard. The days felt like weeks but the weeks felt like days. You told me to take one day at time, so that’s what I did. And before I knew it, I was on my way to see you. To see you become a United States Marine. I was scared, I was excited. But I still had to wait. I saw you standing there, so tall and handsome. I could see the pride in your eyes, as he gave you your Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. You did it, your now a Marine. I was so happy, I was so excited. I ran to you with open arms. The day had come, we were together again, everything was great. I knew then that you were worth the wait. We came home with smiling faces, I was so proud of my Marine. Four days later I said yes for the second time; when you asked me if I still wanted to marry a Marine. But this time to my surprise you pulled out a ring. This truly was the happiest day of life. August 22nd I said yes to my Marine. You were worth the wait. Ten days later I had to watch you leave yet again. This time as your fiancé and with a ring on my finger. I was sad but I wasn’t scared. As I watched you get on that plane and fly away, so far way, I gave you my heart and again I gave you my word that I would wait. Now I wait like I promised I would. I wait for your calls so that I can hear your voice, just like I waited for your letters just to see your handwriting. I will wait as long as it takes, I will wait for my Marine. I will wait because you are "the one", I will wait because true love waits.

LOVE YOU FOREVER At birth it was easy to love You were an angel sent from above With age came the true test Of mothers I’d try to be the best Curiosity would peak here and there Sometimes i thought - more than i could bear They were stages - you had to grow I can help - just listen to what i know I still loved you just the same But with the growth, disappointment came Disappointment not in you But in some things you’d chose to do Now you’ve chosen to take a stand Step out of childhood - become a man I can’t believe you’ve gone to Iraq Counting the minutes till you get back Don’t forget that prayer is a must For it’s in god and not bush we trust He’ll bring you home i have no doubt If he takes you to it he’ll bring you out Being there’s got to be rough Just not being here is even tough Whatever it is that you go through Hang in there Corey - I love you! I’ll love you forever I’ll like you for always As long as I’m living My baby you’ll be!
