Four long years you've been right there,
Sunshine in even the darkest sky.
A life-raft in the chaos,
Those times you stumbled I held your hand
When anger burns something dumb is always said
Now as this awful day draws nearer
Comic relief is not found
For we both know what lurks around the corner
A lump rises, all the words are trapped in side
Tears are collecting
A voice begins to tremble
Oh no...it's mine!
God please give me strength
Don't let him hear these cries
Too late for that
Shallow inhale
These words must be said
“Don't worry it'll be alright”
Oh if only he could stay...
Why do the mountains of Afghanistan await?
Every second will be eternity
The nights will be too long
One day at a time
It will be okay
I love you
Be safe
Come home soon

good write,prayers are with you

Very nicely done!

To a quick safe return

Sending lots of love and warmest wishes for his safe return
