Missing You It's the little things, that touch my heart and remind Like the day you left, when I moved your truck Quick departures cause things to be left behind Like, your empty Coke can, I now see, was left behind, just like....me It's not that I mind, the cleaning up after Taking care of your business and various things Cuz we made good memories of love and of laughter I'm up for these tasks, cuz your love gives me wings.... Wings to fly over an unkind word Said by another, to discourage, not bless To fly high under prayers, guaranteed to be heard Low enough to support others put to this test I can't wait for your phone calls, the sound of your voice An e-mail, or a word from some other wife The role of a miltary spouse was my choice Tho' it's not for sissies, I still love my life I love it because it's God's choice for me Whether it's easy or not, I won't run We want America to stay free, to worship as He Ordained us to be... through His Son "Onward Christian Soldiers" is a song we used to sing And in Sunday School, we also sang "I'm In The Lord's Army" So, tho' I hate for you to go, I'll sing aloud, "Let Freedom Ring" And trust that God, will help you to..."Be All That You Can Be" I pray His love, as well as mine, will keep you safe and warm As you bravely go to protect and defend ...this country we both love That you and fellow soldiers will come to know no harm Because you're surrounded by angels ... and His Holy Spirit Dove To go in front of and behind, and flank you on either side As you go In the Name, the Power, and the Glory of the Lord That your enemies will find...no safe place to hide Remember, when his flesh was weak, Samson found strength in His Word "One rock, in the right place, at the right time", you said, "slays every Giant"" When the Psalmist David slayed Goliath, he found out, it was true... That supernatural strength prevailed, when on God he was reliant The Faith that empowered David, lives on in me and you And so I let you go with God, and endure the lonliness Keep busy with constructive things and pray for you each day Help other wives and children, coping also with the stress Until the day that you come back, home to me... to stay Copyright 2003 CathyCurtis-O'Connell-Ayon
