i get mad when i think about it i get sad when i try to write or talk about it when you left i tried to be brave i knew what was wrong and you would leave me all alone!
I couldn’t save you because i wasn’t there and i feel like it is all on me but sometimes i know there wasn’t anything anyone could do..
Baby was small, but then she grew.
From one inch and onto two.
From three inches onto four.
Soon she was a foot or more.
When she wanted milk she cried,
With her baby eyes so wide.
Baby grew so very fast,
The baby food would hardly last.
The sudden spew of baby goo
All over you and momma too
Even grandfolk were so thrilled
When the baby milk was spilled
Daddy said, “you’re so cute…
In your little birthday suit.”
Momma said, “look at you!
…Look at how my baby grew!”
Every ounce that she grew more,
Was more of baby to adore!
And everyone that baby knew,
Said “look how big the baby grew!”
Mom and dad began to see,
Babe would soon a toddler be…
And certainly, not far behind,
We would then a woman find.
From the spit-up to the sit-up,
From the kick into the crawl.
Soon will be the hair and make-up,
Gone will be the baby ball.
We all started out that small
With our crib and baby ball
I should take these times to treasure
While my girl, I still can measure
With every sight and sound so new.
Her Ahhs and oo’s and baby coos,
I so love her through and through.
Baby was small, but then she grew.
A soldier bends down and hugs his children close and then passionately kisses his wife.
Their tears fall down upon the soldiers boots as he turns to vanish from their life.
Through obscured vision he disappears from their sight.
On the wings of an angel he takes his final flight.
He leaves behind all that he has ever loved, he leaves behind his heart.
He leaves behind a few things that he has finished, and leaves behind all those things he meant to start.
He leaves behind his job, his family and a few good friends.
He leaves behind his home, the country he is going to defend.
The flight to nowhere, ah and time will be his worst enemy.
As he fights back the tears and tries desperately to hold on to his sanity.
The pain in his heart matches the pain in his head, an aching throb.
He finds the courage of a soldier way down deep and does his job.
Time marches on and past us all, never to regain what is lost.
Not measuring our soldiers sacrifices not knowing their cost.
And yet time can provide us with the ability to turn so much evil into good.
A time for the world to watch and learn from such a dedicated brotherhood.
The days turn into night, the weeks into months and yet the soldier presses on.
Waiting for his orders, waiting for someone to tell him it’s time to go home.
Back to that place he remembers, home. To that foundation of love.
Back to a nation that believes in him and worships God our father up above.
A soldier bends down and hugs his children close, and then passionately kisses his wife.
Their tears fall down upon the soldiers boots as he returns into their life.
Through obscured vision they see him, he is safely within their sight.
On the wings of an angel the soldier has been brought home. The angel turns and bids him well as she takes her final flight
