I don’t know about you, but I felt like this week would never end! It has been an emotionally rough week, and I am looking forward to spending some time with friends and family this weekend. But before I hop off to enjoy the gorgeous weather and the beauty autumn brings, I thought I would share this poem with you.
It was forwarded to me, by one of the fans on the facebook page, Military Wives Matter: Support for Today’s Military Spouse. It was signed Anonymous, but if anyone knows who the author is, I would love to give him or her proper credit and recognition! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! And, whatever you do, I hope it brings you joy and leaves you with a smile! While you’re smiling, be sure it pass it around! Smiles are the friendliest contagion to be caught!
From Anonymous:
My hometown is nowhere my friends are everywhere.
I grew up with the knowledge that home is where the heart is and the family…
with no dependence on the dwelling. Mobility is my way of life.
Some would wonder about roots, yet they are deep and strong as the mighty oak.
I sink them quickly absorbing all an area offers and hopefully giving enrichment in return. Travel has taught me to be open.
Shaking hands with the universe. I find brotherhood in all men.
Farewells are never easy, yet even in sorry comes strength and ability to face tomorrow with anticipation… and if when I leave one place I feel that half my world is left behind. I also know that the other half is still waiting to be met.
Friendships are formed in hours and kept for decades…
I will never grow up with someone but I will mature with many. Be it inevitable that paths part, there is constant hope that they will meet again.
Love of country, respect and pride fill my being when Old Glory passes in review.As I stand to honor that flag, so also do I stand in honor of all the soldiers and most especially the parents whose life created mine.
Because of this, I have shared in the rich heritage of Military Life….
