My Army Girl

[pattyjamison2009]

The house is strangely quiet...
she's not here anymore...
she's gone to serve her country..
The girl that I adore....

I miss her very much..
I cried the whole way home..
Its really painful to leave them..
If only I had known....

But no matter what you think...
you cant imagine or know...
the way your heart will feel...
until the day they go....

I stand in awe and wonder..
at all the people that serve...
their courage and their wisdom...
and how they have the nerve...

May the Lord God keep them close..
and protect their every way...
and guide them safely back to us...
to serve another day....

Please hold my child close dear God..
and let her come to thee....
and when she is done serving her country...
please send her back to me.....AMEN
