A military wife is mostly girl. But there are times, such as when her
husband is away and she is mowing the lawn or fixing a youngster's
bike, that she begins to suspect she is also boy. She usually comes

Please Father, dry my helpless tears.
You know indeed that I am frail;
Help me to send him cheerful mail.
