March to Her Orders

If I don’t live to write another short story, I want to be clear that I could write for days about this Steelers fan. I mean where was she when I was in the enlistment ranks? Probably where she needed to be, because had we met back then; things would have been extremely complicated. I could name reasons to try and charm her, but she is far from the charming type. However, know it or not, men march to the orders of women in one way or the other. For this woman, I would enlist for a lifetime!

A woman of this caliber, could bring so much balance in my life! Not all over the place as it may seem because I know what I want. I need that solid woman who could anchor me in my times when I have the itch to cuss someone out. Most of us have this side that just want to punch someone in the throat. Not that I let this side show, but I think of punching people in the throat far too often these days. I need a woman that can bring back that balance and allow me to tap into my inner peace and she be a part of it that environment. I could go on about how many ways she could anchor me, but having her as a buffer and giving me a reason to think before I respond would be such a positive vibe. Too many common women want to compete, instead of challenge and there is a tremendous difference in the two. I would not mind going to black-tie events with her and just grabbing a quick bite to eat at the Olive Garden would be just as fine!

Spending time with someone that I can respect and trust is not a bad marching order. A confident woman who knows that her man will not leave her side. A woman who is secure and will not have to worry about if her man wants to pay attention to her, but she knows that her man pays attention to her. A woman that I don’t mind courting because I know that material things doesn’t impress her. Those marching orders are worth getting up at zero-dark fifteen and running three miles before the start of a long day knowing that she will be there at the end of it. Structure and order is an advantage that any military woman has over any other woman today. I never really thought about it, but a life with a military-natured woman is what I need.

Easy on the eyes as well, but she also gives the appearance that her soul is in the right place. Couldn’t place the words or knew the right word that could connect her to me, but now I know the word balance comes to mind. This woman is my wife! I just need to confirm the qualification factors in being her husband. I’m not turn-key and could use some adjustment, but I’m willing to learn and march in her formation any day of the week. As I share many of my writings and poems, I will leave this one just for her.

This is the definition of a strong black woman! She doesn’t say it, she presents it! She knows her worth, but challenges her potential to match it and lead her. Please tell me where to sign up! I think my kids will be going to college in Atlanta anyway! All the good reason to move back there. If I had the chance to be in your unit, I would never ask for a DD-214!
