(A Tribute To All Wives Os Veterans Os WW II) A Medal For A Serviceman’s Wife "A Medal, please, for a serviceman's wife," I heard the young may say, "I want her to wear it the rest of her life; So make it large and gold and gay." The clerk looked over the counter At the young man standing there; He was tired and weary from battle She saw premature grey in his hair. "I m sorry, sir," she answered, "We've medals for soldiers, it's true, But one for a serviceman's wife I Is obviously something quite new, We've lockets and bracelets and compacts, And trinkets to please any wife; Perhaps you would care to see them They are all guaranteed for life." But the soldier smiled a kindly smile And said in his own simple way, Don t bother, Miss, you’ve nothing here I could take her on this special day. You see, she's been more than a wife these years She's been 'Daddy' to baby as well, She never complained, or mentioned the tears That no doubt very often fell. Well, I'm home, and I'm safe, and I'm happy, I'm on my way to her right now. I'm sorry you haven't the medal, But I'll make it up, somehow." As the soldier went on his homeward way I couldn't help think aloud The best medal on earth for a serviceman's wife And one of which she will always be proud - Is the return of her dear one forever, And to know that the battle is won; To be safe from fear, and to know he is near When the end of the day is done.
