Hello all. It has been awhile since I have posted anything. So I hope yall feel this. In this land of sand and death, it's my oasis The day I come home and see their smiling faces Miles away from anything that resembles home Thousands beside me but I feel like I was sent alone So misleading, goodbyes come so close to grieving So many tears, my kids too young to know the meaning They were told I'm leaving, and it's only been 4 days And my kids are still waiting for me to come through the doorway Of course they will learn the truth and start to feel it We'll grow apart and that's the hardest part to deal with It darkens spirits and leaves you with an empty chest My son's gonna be walking and I'm gonna miss every step Yet regret and doubt are two of the furthest thoughts Even though there's that chance I could get hurt or lost It's worth the cost, especially with loved ones beside you Shoot, I'm the soldier and they have more pride than I do It's day 6 but it feels like it's been weeks longer I know they miss me but in a way they seem stronger My dreams wander, thinkin of how much I miss em Wondering how they sleep without daddy to tuck and kiss em Screw the system, I'm kidding but still torn in ways Wish I could crawl in bed and feel my wife's warm embrace Just a little kiss and squeeze, maybe a frisky tease I wanna be close but the Army tries to distance me Another 60 weeks to replace those tears with laughter It's hard to console when you know they fear disaster Another year of chapters in this twisted book of life Staring at my kid's pictures, amazed how much we look alike Wish I could book a flight even if I was home a minute Learn how to freeze time so the moment won't deminish Just hope to finish the hardship as it approaches Just another soldier, husband and dad feelin homesick |

Excellent! I found a great military site to post this on if you are interested in doing that to get more exposure? Well done! Military Quotes  |
