Off To War

As we are very close As we would do anything for each other As your always at my house As your my only brother The hardest thing that I ever had to do with you Is to say good bye as you go.....off to war Trying to explain why you had to leave to your very young niece and nephew Not knowing if that good bye.....will be for ever Waiting for the phone calls.....Just so we know your ok Praying everyday for your safty Praying everyday that the army don't come to my house....to tell us your not ever coming home alive All those days and nights.....With tears that flow Cause I am scarred for your safty Cause I miss you so much All I want is for you to be come home When that solider comes home Those relief tears takes over All that praying worked Cause God picked you as a lucky one and returned you home alive When you were....Off to war
