A Police Officers Wife

A special kind of woman: a cut above the rest.
That's a police officers wife, rating her among the best.

How many good-byes are whispered, joined with a fond embrace,
As duty steals her man for the dangers he must face.

How often have meals been ruined -- or tender moments disturbed
By a call for special duty, sparking loyalty unswerved.

It's a devil of a job, for an angel like this
Who-- for the love of her man must forsake that kiss.

She can run a garden tractor, even paint a room in need
How she can stretch a dollar, a miracle indeed.

She's a mother, lover, chauffeur, and nurse
A living symbol of; "For better or worse."

Rich is the man reaping his rewards in life
Who chose to be the other half of a police officers wife.
