Essence of Your Love
He had missed his boy it now being over two years
In knowing so much joy you must also know the tears
With each week that would pass and each day that went by
There sat a little tear of glass in the tiny corner of his eye
Many couldn't really even see it unless you looked really good
And so rarely would he ever admit for strength was understood
But in the times when he was alone and would think of the past
That little glass tear had grown as a new layer had been cast
But in looking in the mirror and seeing that growing glass ball
All the reasons became clearer of all the others who answered the call
Wiping the tear from his eye once again getting hold of his emotion
But these feelings certainly don't lie oh how I miss you my Son
So the next time you may notice just such a little glass tear
The etched name of who we miss will now be seen so clear
You needn't make a big deal or even go out of you way
For only the Spirit can heal so I only ask that you pray
For Those Serving Our Nation
