Every day, apart from you, all I can do is pray
Even the little things make my world seem so lonely
But Freedom is worth a sacrifice of time with my one and only
I know this time will pass. We will see each other again
Until then I wait and understand Freedom has demands
Freedom is not soft and comforting as resting in your arms
Her price is oh so high and puts you near to countless harms
But when I feel like losing faith and crying endlessly
I know that true Freedom is for so many more than me
So please, Dear Soldier, stay safe and free from fret.
Know I will carry on each day, but I will never forget
Each night as I lay me down, my tired head to sleep
I miss you more than words can say, and sadly, still I weep
God dries my tears while I dream and each day I start anew
Praying, hoping, knowing, I'm one day closer to holding you.
Happy Veteran's Day! Thank you to all who serve or have served to protect our freedom. Thank you to all the families that sacrifice so much to support those who keep us free!
