Soldier Boy
Soldier boy, I see that you're hurting in disguise,
Showing no pain, but I see it in your eyes.
I know the pain that runs deep, and you feel it every day.
I see the fear in your eyes that never goes away.

I thought your world was only me
And you will live your life so safely.
But you have your own responsibility
To serve your people and your country.
Thank you Shawna! My husband was deployed a few days after our wedding for the third time. It was hard on me, but we made it together. He is now retired and we have two boys.
Dawn breaks on yet another day
but the light is nowhere to be found
on this sky murky and gray
hope seems lost on this battle ground...

I was charged with their safety.
My one and only task,
To protect that convoy
From that fatal blast.
My friend's dad was killed when one of his convoys was ambushed by terrorists. It's so sad to hear about soldiers being killed and never coming home. My friend hasn't been the same since.
Home Sweet Home
I miss you when I am away
Dad, Sis, Mom
I miss you when I am alone ...
my best friends brother is in the army and she gets really upset about it sometimes and me being the person I am to her and her family I try to reassure her that everything will be alright...
How blue are the eyes of my darling
And warm are her lips ruby red.
How white are her arms of enchantment
That beckon me into her bed.

I don't know that uniform that was once on your back
Or the medals you could have worn
Or the family that loved you
That were broken up and torn....
Today is another day of patrols
These days all seem the same
That is unless we see action
Unaware that would be today
I am so very proud
Of how he turned out to be
He is out there standing his ground
Fighting for our country...
I found out recently that one of my brothers had joined the Army as soon as he left school. I am so very proud of him but it has made trying to contact him to express this more than difficult...
Some foreign country,
Some funny name.
After awhile,
They all look the same....
