My soldier

To my soldier in a faraway land
Know that I am there holding your hand.
What I wouldn't give to have you here in my arms
To know that you are safe away from harm.

Nights are endless, days so long
Until I can dream of whom my heart belongs.
He dresses in camo and carries a gun
He won't be through until the battle is done.

Here I sit in sorrow alone
Hoping and praying he makes it home.
I pray to see the words I'm alright
If I hear nothing I'm filled with fright.

My day is his night, his night my day
Beside him is where I will forever stay.
To him I will remain steady and true
Even though my heart is blue.

He is my soldier, my pride and joy
God how I love that boy.
Not a boy a full grown man
One who fights for our country, our promised land.

He has my heart and soul
When it comes to him I have no control.
He is my passion, my flame
He is my muse with the sweetest name.

My hopes
My dreams.
He is my soldier, my world
My everything.
