My Marine

This is a poem that I wrote for Nate shortly after we were married.

When it all began

It was all so new.

This handsome man

Pictured in Marine dress blues.

 

So many questions I had.

I was just a teen.

Who was this man?

This United States Marine?

 

A feeling deep inside,

Too deep to put into words.

It was a feeling of great pride,

Even though we were in different worlds.

 

The day soon came

When he asked me to be his wife.

Our worlds would never be the same.

We would start a brand new life.

 

With a vow and a kiss,

And then sealed by a ring

We made an eternal promise

Me and my Marine.

 

The future is unclear.

Where we'll go, I don't know.

But for sure I will be here,

And I'll go where he goes.

 

Though long hours may separate,

And time keeps us apart.

This man is my soulmate,

I have given him my heart.

 

Things may get hard

And at times crazy they seem.

But I truly love this man,

MY United States Marine.
