Prayers Go With You

The day I have dreaded is finally hear
I struggle to hold in that inevitable tear
Slowly deliberately sucking in air
Hoping to calm this feeling of despair
I kneel to pray that she might see
Courage and faith is deep inside me
This choice she's made in love to serve
Gives hope for freedom we all deserve
I stand in awe of her companions and friends
On those chosen to serve this country depends
Their sacrifice should be abundantly clear
Respect and love to those we hold so dear
Go with God my love you are in my every prayer
May you all be protected while you are there
