A Military Child

A Military Child

A Poem by Catherine Frain

A Military Child,
Lives in many different places.
They can see the world,
just by moving place to place.

A Civilian Child,
usually stays in one place.
They can see the world, just by traveling.

A Military Child,
sees the sacrifices, that the uniform entitles.
The struggles and Stress.
The heartbreak of finding out,
that your loved one is leaving,
or that they aren't coming back.

A Civilian Child,
may only see a uniform.
They do not fully understand,

what it means to wear the uniform,
and the feelings you get while serving.

A Military Child,
may see a uniform,
and could tell you the branch it is from.

A Civilian Child,
may see a uniform,
and could guess at what branch it is from.
