wrote this poem in April 2001 while I was a military wife of a US Navy sailor yes we still together

"Baby girl, how was your day?"

"Holding things down for Big J?"

These are the words I want to hear you say

Ja's little mama, daddy's lil girl

These are the titles I hold in this world

But still mama's pearl

Handed to you to cherish and love 

OUR mariage, OUR love, NO ONE could conceive of 

Back together only by guidance from above

Insecure and lonely while you sail the sea

Wanting you, needing you here with me

Protecting me, please stop neglecting me

Let me in, let me in I'm knocking on your door

I'm beating down the door, can't take the silence anymore

Sex is the glue in a marriage, but what happens when you are gone

House is empty, ingredients missing for a happy home

But I hold on, be strong, duties of a military wife

Through all the struggles and strife

"Keep the home fires burning" story of my life

Prepare for our future, hold fast to our dreams

YOU are my KING and I your QUEEN

And THAT nothing can come between

So while you sail the sea

I'll wait patiently 

For when we can be together, that will be the day

But in the meantime

In between time

"Baby girl how was your day?"

"Holding things down for Big J?"

Is all I wanna hear you say
