There comes a time we all struggle
We try to get along, but we just can't
Then comes the time for love
Where we share everything it is that we have
A father, a son
A mother, a daughter
A sister, a brother
We may fight, it's a part of family
But in the end it's all about the love we share
A bond that can never be broken
Even when death stands at our door
Love does not see an end
Only a beginning and forever on
Do not stop loving in this tragic time
For there will always be what comes next

wonderful
this piece is so true. it tugged at my heartstrings as i have my youngest son in the army and after Christmas won't be sure if i will see him again. he volunteered to go to iraq if needed and he probably will since he also chose infantry. thank you for your sweet comment.

Amazing!
Thank you so much for this beautiful entry.
I love it and I know my father will also.
We may fight, it's a part of family
