Can You Not See Me

Can you not see me
I am right here
Do you not hear that
It's something to fear

I am so scared 
Yet I am so brave
Still you cant see me
but I am right here

I heard you traveled 
to go morn a rock star
I did not hear you leave
to go morn my dear friend

Still you cant see me
Yet I am still right here
Do you know who I am 
or do you even care

I may not be a singer
or even a actress
You may not even know me
but you hear what goes on here

I see now you may not even care
You still cant see me
Yet I am still right here

You have your freedom
and that's why I am here
I am fighting for you
because that's how much I care


To My Dear Cousin who is being sent to Iraq next month.. I can see you and I do care! 
Please be careful and thank you for all that you are doing and to all the others who are 
fighting for us to keep us safe and our freedom. I Love you Jason!!!

I know that you are very concerned about this. Our youth are in danger when they have to serve. You have done a good job of letting him know you care. Keep writing. Sara
