10 October 2012

It's a lonely bed without you The nights seem so long The days drag in to darkness Five weeks now you've been gone

I suppose I should be used to it Sixteen years of wedded bliss Serving Queen and country Always saying goodbye with a last kiss

You've missed countless birthdays Over the many years Not shared our children's firsts But there's no sadness or tears

There once was a time Not so long ago You couldn't wear your uniform in public It went against the status quo

But now times have changed Everyone's out to help a hero You've seen death, mutilation and destruction Leaving families with nothing but zero

Your son is so proud And often looks to the skies In the hope while at school You'll do a fly by

Now we are four Your daughter will learn too That her father gave up much To serve and protect YOU.
