14 February 2013

I wrote an open letter

I said 'I love you' today

But the target of my affection

Was not a boyfriend.

The ones on my mind today

Were those I know who defend me everyday

The military boys in my life

Family friends I have known a long time

And so them I felt compelled to thank

To express my love and gratitude

For their sacrifice and selfless duty

In service of our country,

And protection of everyone here

Including people they don't know

And including me.

Today I was content

And I felt blessed

To express love to four servicemen

And not a boyfriend.
