Antonio V...

Growing up as a military child

Means moving around quite a while

New schools, new friends, new neighborhoods too

Leaving behind what you once knew


Dad or mom would get deployed

Your heart fills up with fear and void

Praying they'll come back safe and sound

Hoping love and support is found


Birthdays and holidays, you miss them there

Absence always felt, but you learn to bear

Standing tall, being brave and strong

Knowing family’s love and bond is long


You learn diversity, adaptability

Patience, resilience, and stability

Traveling the world, experiencing life

More than just a story, it’s a treasure rife


Being a military child may have its strife

But the love, pride, and loyalty are rife

For they are heroes, serving their nation

Their families too, join their commendation.
