Here is a thing I wrote...

Here you go, lol...

I am a military child

I know what it's like to move

I know the smell of cardboard better than any

I know the best way to get used to a new place (hide and seek)

I am a military child

I know what it means to start anew

I know that it is harder to be left behind than to leave behind

I am a military child

I am experienced in changing schools mid year

I know that sometimes you have to start before your stuff has arrived

I am a military child

I know things will be lost in each move

I know to scatter precious things you can't carry amongst random things and why

I am a military child

I can camp in a house for months without much more than clothes

I know we may not have a place right away to camp in

I am a military child

I know I need my ID to stay in our house on base

In fact, I need it on me at all times

I am a military child...

And I am scared of becoming a civilian...

For some, it is sudden--as death... that is the worst, no doubt...

For others, there is time to plan...

But the security of a base is hard to leave

We have to wonder:

What do you do?

What is it like to never leave?

Don't you feel stuck?

Will I?
