Well I Just got home from a long trip down to Fort Knox Kentucky to see my best friend Aaron Graduate from Basic Training...this is the picture I took with him in his Class B's right after his graduation with the poem I wrote!

This poem is for Aaron...my best friend...my soldier

Dear Father, can you hear me?
As I come to You tonight
In need of You to wipe my tears away
And comfort all my fright
Life seems so safe for me
With four sturdy walls that is my home
While my soldier fights this battle
Out there on his own
We sit here with endless prayers
For his health and protection
Living off the memories
Of his love and affection
In pictures, we see his face
Standing proud and tall
Full of strength and spirit
Ready to give it his all
Oh, Father, how I ask of You
For Your angels from above
To silently fly with him
With the presence of my love
And when he's feeling lonely
Staring at pictures torn, tattered, and old
Let him find peace in the memories
Of the ones he longs to hold
The months are many till his return
And so, until then
Im entrusting my soldier to You, Father
With all my love
Amen.
