My Army Girl
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,
It's really hard to leave them,
If only I had known....
But no matter what you think,
You can't imagine or know,
The way that 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
My army girl:
Great poem and so is the rhyming. This poem is so sincere I hope your daughter well and she returns to you soon. Loved the poem and its rhythm. Good read.

This was a really good read,
This was a really good read, it almost seems hereditary in my family that you join the army, so I have seen so many go off to war. And while they are not my children, I think I know just a tiny bit of how you feel. It was heartfelt and it hit me with every word.
Love,
