Military Brat
I'm a military brat
Though brat is the wrong word
Because we are probably some of the toughest kids in the world
We get it from our parents
From our moms and dads
Who go off to different countries to make the world a better place
And from our moms and dads
Who stay behind and become our anchor
We're very different than most kids
We know not to judge people cause everyone has a story
We know how to make friends in nearly every situation
We can handle moving every two to three years
Cause unlike other kids who look forward to the excitement of a new place to keep them going in a move
We know to hold onto the memories
Our minds are a beautiful collection of past and future
We keep our old pals as we make new ones
We don't have a circle of friends
We have a globe of them
This is our life and we learn to survive it
It is like no other and that's what makes us, us.
