Deployment Day

That whole hour before you left, I stood there and watched time fly, that moment i dreaded was almost here, that moment of goodbye. I tried to make the time last, but then the buses came, my heart was ripped from my chest, when you turned and walked away. I tried to hold the tears back, in fear you'd see I wasn't strong, but how could i keep the tears from falling, when half of my heart was gone. each day is a struggle, but yet, somehow I learn to cope, I keep my head high and continue on, but I never lose hope. Pray everyday as I will, for god to bring you home, and keep your faith in his hands, and remember your never alone. My prayers will walk beside you, I hope that brings you some peace, I'll say a prayer for you everynight, just before I go to sleep. This journey will eventually end, so keep your spirits high, cause I know god is always there, and my prayers won't leave your side.
