When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard ...
... to listen to his son whine
about being bored.
... to keep a straight face when people complain
about potholes.
… to be tolerant of people who complain
about the hassle of getting ready for work.
... to be understanding when a co-worker complains
about a bad night's sleep.
… to be silent when people pray to God for a new car.
... to control his panic when his wife tells him
he needs to drive slower.
… to be compassionate when a businessman
expresses a fear of flying.
... to keep from laughing when anxious parents say
they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.
... to keep from ridiculing someone who complains
about hot weather.
... to control his frustration when a colleague gripes
about his coffee being cold.
... to remain calm when his daughter complains
about having to walk the dog.
... to be civil to people who complain
about their jobs.
... to just walk away when someone says
they only get two weeks of vacation a year.
... to be forgiving when someone says
how hard it is to have a new baby in the house.
The only thing harder than being a Soldier ...
… is loving one.
