I thought some of you might get a kick out of this...it rings true for me because...I am a military brat...my dad was army....
"I AM A MILITARY BRAT"
My hometown is nowhere, my friends are everywhere.
I grew up with the knowledge that home is where the heart is,
and the family? Mobility is my way of life.
Some would wonder about roots, yet they are as 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 sorrow comes strength and
ability to face tomorrow with anticipation....if when we leave
one place, I feel that half my world is left behind. I also know
that the other half is 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.
When I stand to honor that flag, so also do I stand in honor of
all soldiers, and most especially, to the parents whose life
created mine.
Because of this, I have shared in the rich heritage of Military
life.
