It's a Tall Order

"A Police Officer's Wife"


A special kind of woman: a cut above the rest,That's A Police Officer's Wife, rating her best.

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

How often have meals been ruined - or tender moments disturbed,by a call for special duty, sparking loyalty un-swerved?

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 is a miracle indeed.

She's mother, lover, chauffeur and nurse, A living symbol of: "for better or for worse."
Rich is the man, reaping his rewards in life,Who chose to be the other half of
A Police Officer's Wife.
