Contributor: Dianna Conklin || Poem Categories

Our Journey country as flag
We were waiting for class standing in the hall
I looked over and seen you down the isle against the wall
I didn't know who you were until your friend came over to me
He said you thought I was hot and asked what my response would be.

I smiled and told him you and I could chat and see where it goes
What happened from there only the the good lord knows
he sent me you to complete my life and take my hand
he knew that side by side we would stand

We finished high school together, you a year before me
You had signed that line, a soldier you wanted to be
I finished up school while you were gone
I seen you graduate basic and I knew you were the one

You came home and we knew what we wanted with our life
Soon after that I was blessed to be your wife
I was nervous and happy to walk down the isle
I walked up to you in your uniform and seen your big smile

I knew from that day forward you had stole my heart
And it was just you and I, till death do us part.
You were a soldier and I said, "Hi!"
