Time apart from you
Left for work saying adieu
Mind wanders around
Can make me feel down
The beep of my phone
Means a message from back home
Where you wait for me
The place I would rather be
Biding my time until I see you again
The waiting can drive me insane
Walking through the door
Arriving to your kisses and so much more
Until that time comes
I will sit here all glum
Until that time all my love I send to you.
The beginning of a new week
My head aches my body is weak
A weekend of rest and relaxation
Lying in bed until noon
Time with my wife we swoon
Staying up past midnight
Now Monday comes and I have to rise at first light
Crawling out of bed
Sleep still clouds my head
Into the shower I go
Shaving off my beard that has just begun to grow
Putting on my uniform and pulling on my boots
Heading out for another week of work
Somedays the weather is nice, somedays not so much
Monday comes and the only thing I can think of is
When will Friday arrive……

Shadows of my past
Following me into the twilight
Forever leaving an imprint on my days
Sometimes pulling me back
Leaving a note of melancholy on my soul
Only the melody of your love pulls me through
A light in the darkness of this world
You are the Way, the Truth and the Light
Showing this sinner a worth that was lost
Leading my steps forward on this path of my life
You are my Shepard
Into your arms I will go
Leaving these shadows of my past

Friends I have served with.
Me over the years.
A little trip overseas.
Why I serve.
