Waiting
Nervous and worried I sit on my bed,Too many things going through my head.
The lonliness leaves me in my thoughts and fears But I listen carefully hoping no one else hears
I regret what I said and hope he regrets what he did
Though Ive got to be strong and protect the kids.
It makes me sick, hearing her cry and weep
I end up crying myself to sleep
Tomorrow is a new day,
Lets hope its not as bad as it was today
My Daddy
My strong, brave soldier lays in his bedHis body aching from toe to head
Suffering the pain is almost too much
Just to get up he needs a crutch
I can’t stand to see him a mess,
Weak and sad, and worst of all, helpless
Going to the bathroom I catch him cry,
There is a pain in my gut and I know why.
In just a few days he’ll be off to the ‘states’
His family will miss him and sadly wait.
I need his protection and love him so,
But I have no choice, I must let him go.
