The road we travel down is long
Full of holes we travel on
There are pitfalls at every turn
We’re here, we’re there, and then we’re gone
I know a heart can never heal
And it’s the scars that make us strong
We love, we live, a new day comes
If we give our all it can’t be wrong
So hold me close and love me dear
My heart is yours to hold
You have me until we part
Or until we both grow old

You will find her. Great job on this. I can see the road my military friends have told me about, as I read your words. So scary. Thanks for sharing, all of you do for us over there. Be safe.
