My dear soldier,
At the airport we waved goodbye.
I hate the idea of waiting for the messenger.
In the end I don’t want to have to ask “why?”
God has his plan and I have mine.
I wish it would go my way this time.
As I wait I smell the sweet scent of being fine.
During the night I sleep a little the size of a dime.
In the morning I awoke to a cold bed.
I followed a path that lead to you.
When I received a letter my stomach fled.
I can only wish you knew.
My dear soldier,
Oh, If only you knew.
How much I love you.
If morning to night I’d stay in flight
If only to see you once again.
The smile on your face.
I don’t care which place.
To kiss you in darkness or light
I believed you’d come home.
Today I took the flag.
I held it in honor of you.
I hope God blesses you.
He took you home.
Even without you our child has grown.
Oh, how he looks like you.
One day I’m sure he’ll meet you too.
