Being a military child

Being a military child in stressful at times,
But sometimes you've got to man up, and,
When they go away, until another day,
Then they get to stay, until they go away,
AGAINPoem by Louise

Being a military child

Although it can be hard
It is loads of fun
We move from yard to yard
Welcomed as we come
Exploring everywhere
Going for a run
Making the most of where you are
Meeting new friends
At new schools
Great until it ends
Following the rules
Then it starts again
