I Got Your Back

As we're counting the days to see Spencer again, it also means that we're that much closer to saying good-bye all over again. Only this time when we say our good-byes and love you, we have no idea when the next phone call when come home or the next letter will arrive. We don't know when we will see our loved soldier again.... I received this poem awhile ago and just recently found it and thought how appropriate it would be to share :) Michelle

I Got Your Back

I am a small and precious child, my dad's been sent to fight...

The only place I'll see his face, is in my dreams at night.

He will be gone too many days for my young mind to keep track.

I may be sad, but I am proud

My daddy's got your back.

I am a caring mother, my son has gone to war...

My mind is filled with worries that I have never known before.

Everyday I try to keep my thoughts from turning black.

I may be scared, but I am proud

My son has got your back.

I am a strong and loving wife, with a husband soon to go.

There are times I'm terrified, in a way most never know.

I bite my lip, and force a smile, as I watch my husband pack...

My heart may break, but I am proud.

My husband's got your back.

I am a soldier...

Serving proudly, standing tall.

I fight for freedom, yours and mine, by answering this call.

I do my job while knowing, the thanks it sometimes lacks.

Say a prayer that I'll come home.

It's me who's got your back
