As Days Flew By
As days flew by I have missed you so
You see sand and wind
Love ones are lost without you
Holidays come and go
And still our hearts lie with you
Some days we miss your happiness
And weep when hearing your voice
We wonder what it's like over there
To even get up on some days
Children in streets, happy to see you
Women dressed in foreign clothes
Men with guns and gear
You go to work and see your kids picture
And start to sob
Family's that have loved ones live with this
But they never forget
When someone has served their rights
Wife's feel like their heart has been ripped
Children pray
Friends wait
Until finally the solider returns
Family's reunite
Children weep uncontrollably
Friend's rejoice that God has blessed them
To have their soldier back home safe
