Poem
It’s Valentines Day full of cards and kisses Wish you were here covers all of my wishes Easter is here and were celebrating our lord Each day that passes I miss you even more It’s been seven years today since we said, “I do” It seems longer than that since I last held you We all gather together for the birth of our land It’s the Fourth of July and your not here as we planned It’s your birthday today marking 34 years When I think of you celebrating alone, it brings me to tears Now it’s thanksgiving and the families all here The rooms filled with spirit and still your not here Out of habit I set a place at the tables head The kids leave it and “Soon Mom” is all that was said Santa is coming and kids are full of cheer I try to keep smiling even though you are not here Pictures with Santa and the lighting of the tree Smiles on Christmas morning I wish you could see We gather to wish good tidings to all I sit and wait by the phone thinking maybe you’d call You have missed a great deal in the year you’ve been gone Jason had a great time at his junior prom Katie turned seven and Chrissie turned two For all their birthday wishes- they just wished for you At night we all get tucked into bed We snuggle up close and then bow our heads Dear Lord please keep special watch over our Dad If anything happens to him we’ll be so sad He’s over helping the other country grow Doing his job as you already know He’s helping other little boys and girls Opening their eyes to a whole new world We are so proud of him and hold our heads high But each night we hear mommy lay there and cry We all miss him more than you know Yet during the day we don’t let it show We have to be strong and keep the faith That soon he’ll be home with us and be safe We are proud to hang that flag up high We are all so full of American pride We pray for all the soldiers’ safe return home We pray that there are no more families left alone Dear God for this Christmas please hear us pray Bring our soldiers home where they belong, where they’ll stay
