~A dedication to all the soldiers out there~

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

*Heart*

I have something to tell you all,
But please don't shed a tear.
I'm afraid I won't be seeing you
At Christmas time this year.

*Heart*

I've tried my best to get back home,
But someone had to stay.
It's my duty to our country,
Though I want to leave today.

*Heart*

It's not my only duty;
I'm a father and a son.
But I'm not the only one who's staying
To finish what's begun.

*Heart*

There are others who have family, too,
That aren't going home this year.
I hope this letter brings you hope
And takes away your fear.

*Heart*

So place my present under the tree,
That may not make sense, it seems.
Cause I'll be home for Christmas,
If only in my dreams.

*Heart*
