Police Officers Wife

I don’t wear a badge or boots on my feet
I don’t wear a gun or fight crime on the street

I don’t wear a uniform or work all hours of the night
I won’t ever get promoted or hurt in a fight

I do, however, wear a ring on the left,
The one that he gave me, the day I said yes

I vowed that day, to stand by his side
While he fights to keep us safe with honor and pride

I promised to care for our kids and our home
I knew there’s be times when I’d sleep all alone

But that is okay, I chose this life
I take pride in being a Police Officer’s wife.

*a dear friend had a poem similar to this on her blog about being a military wife. I felt that parts of it rang true for being a police officer's wife so I adapted it to fit a little better.
