Twas the week after deployment and all through this house,
The only creature stirring was this lonesome military spouse,
The house was all empty, there was nothing to do,
I suppose a load of laundry or maybe two,
The dishes are done, the plants have been watered,
How many times can I really watch Harry Potter???
Off to the gym for a workout of sorts,
Thinking of my husband off in faraway ports,
The post office is the next stop on this fun-filled day,
Seeing what's been sent to me from the good old USA,
The commissary is on my way home, I guess i'll swing by,
It kills more hours in the day, I cannot tell a lie,
Maybe i'll go to the exchange to see if there's anything new,
While I'm there i'll grab a greeting card or maybe a few,
Back to our house and the day has just begun,
Time for me to look for a little bit of fun,
To Facebook, Skype and Magic Jack I go,
But all my friends and family are sleeping you know,
It's hard being here when everyone else is not,
I'm missing home not a little but A LOT!
But then I remember why I'm in here in Japan,
Supporting the love of my life, he's one amazing man!
He'll be back here with me as soon as can be,
In the meantime you'll have to endure my lame poetry!
*The Japanese word of the day was going to be "bored" but it doesn't exist in the Japanese language... I leave you with that! xo
