Since the call
i just don't know

my son and war
who ever know's

just can't handle
the thoughts of war

not knowing where

seen more than him
but this scene so grim

can't stop crying
my mind and thoughts

of

not knowing where

watching it all

not knowing where

just makes me cry
that he just might die

he'll be doing it for us
that i have to remember

for my fore fathers
and self
were once there

just hard to handle

NOT KNOWING WHERE!!!

Bernie
I know this is different but my thoughts i did type, no ryhme'g tonight just feelings and your words to get me bye.
And Helen (1slick_lady) and I thank you all for all your prayers and the prayers for all our armed forces.  For the task they have will be for all of us.

Yes Marge I know that everyone cares.

Also as i read and re=read changed the line, cause it seem that was how it read.   Hope you agree with my changes in the line....


But I was out with Brian last night, average age was his, and it is amazing, how many younger people, that just are so shocked that they just don't how to care about how we are going to take care of what happen on bringing these people that have done this to justice..... I was shocked but many did ask questions.    But still hours later and we still don't know where he is getting deployed.  But I am sure it is that way with all of our Reserve Forces that have been called upon to help.  For all the information on where we our officials are deploying our men and women is classified at this time.   Hopefully by the afternoon we will have more info, but maybe it will not even be till friday or so, that we will know where our son is actually going to be.  
Thanks for reading and all your prayers and prayers for all our Armed forces until the people that did this is brought down.

Bernie

I understand your feelings.. I had one son..who I hoped would never have to go to war.. he didn't, there was an accidental drowning  and he died at 18. All of our lives are uncertain. We become stronger when the winds blow, we extend our roots a little deeper. God bless.
