Fight for our country

saying goodbye is the hardest part for me

getting on that ship I know is the hardest for you

I know there is nothing I can do

because you belong to the red white and blue

just know I love you

My pain comes from down within

I can't explain the emotions I'm feeling

scared it might be permanent in our lives you'll be absent

You are his daddy and my husband

you'll be the missing piece from our family

our dinner table will now be incomplete

I respect that you have chosen to

I will do my best to raise our son until you come home

I'll tell him your like his GI Joe men and they needed you because you were tough and strong

I'll explain to him about war, try to get him to understand

but don't be gone long because mommy can't replace the love of a man

I'll let him know you took a stand

just to keep us safe you had to go to a far away land

to fight for a resolution with all those other brave men and women

and that is why daddy is so significant

I'll show him your picture everyday

so when he goes to sleep at night he''ll see your face

I'll capture for you every moment of his life

when he takes his first steps, gets his first teeth, to taking his first bite

I'll think of you until the day you come home

I'll send you all your favorite goodies

twizzlers, Oreos, even your favorite cereal honeycomb

until we see each other again

I'll be here waiting and my love comes from deep within

"We love you our soldier man"
