Deployment

You are so far away in miles, yet so close to my heart
I cried out my soul the day we had to part....
I'll never forget the pain I felt that dreadful day
When Uncle Sam took you away......

You are my life, my heart, my soul
You are the one I can't let go
You are the soul mate I finally found
In life's horrible merry go round.....

I await your return, for your embrace I yearn
I miss your touch, your warmth, your smile
Oh my gosh it's been awhile

The anticipation drives me crazy
A lot of life has become so hazy
Hurry home, I miss you so
So all of my fears I can let go

The Easter bunny has come and gone
And Santa left with the dawn
Another birthday has gone by
And still I keep saying I will try
To hold all of this together
Because it is you that has to weather

The missed growing of our children
The land your in is unforgiving
War will take your heart your soul
All this killing needs to go

God sees all and will be there
The day will come when he'll be fair
He’ll make the pain and suffering go away
But until then there is today......

You do your time and Ill do mine
I know one day, all will be fine
We were put here to do our part
I just don’t think its fair that we have to be so far apart!
