Your cover on your head, your ribbons on your chest.
Your medals clanging with every step, though your smile is the best.
Your mirror-like shoes, reflecting my eyeshadow and blush,
Just like your cheeks, so red, so lush.
A red stripe running down your navy trousers.
A sleek haircut that makes all the girls say “Wowsers!”
Your trimmed mustache measured perfect to a tee,
I’m so proud to be in love with my man in the military!

The author's comments:
Well, as some of you may know, I have hopes to enlist in the military and fall in love. Well, both of those plans have been pushed off because I feel I am too young to sign my name away. So College here I come! If I do in turn fall in love with a man in uniform (fingers crossed) this will be what my reaction will be!!!
