standing in the doorway silently I smile watching the world one breath at a time peaceful, serene smiling innocent content with life how could I leave with all that waiting years of happiness still to come the smile weakens through knowledge that pain will come and so will tears long times of lonliness yet I must leave I reach over to say goodbye give her a kiss and go to work sometimes I wonder if it's really worth it over here in the sands of ancient history where the sand I walk on is the same sand that Abraham stood on being this close to greatness should be a good thing yet why must my little girl cry why do I have to be here when the ones I want to protect are an ocean away yet I smile that same smile as the one I had when I left because I know the two most beautiful women a man could ever have are waiting for me to come home |

I feel like reaching out across the land, sea, and desert to give you a great, big, 'cool', hug, Soldier Man. Your loving words were so heartfelt and beautifully expressed. Be safe ~ and please continue to share your thoughts and feelings with your fellow Pipsters!  Loving Light EA |

Thanks to all of you for your comments. I'll be home sooner than it certainly will feel like. Everyday, one at a time, breath in, breath out repeat. Everything will be alright. |

You have much to come home to; that is what will keep you smart and safe. Hugs to you, no more are you the desperado spirit.  |
