army

sister going to iraq

another birthday of mine
another year older
and as last year you won't be here to see
and as last year your career takes you yet to another place
and as last year i'll miss you
but this time you'll be gone for a year
but this time you are going over seas
but this time you have a risk of dieing
of course i don't want that to happen
of course i don't want you to go
of course i don't want to bury another loved one
of course you'll be ok
i know you'll miss me
i know you are sorry for missing me grow older
but i understand it must be done
and i wish you'll have a good trip
and i wish you'll come back with a story to tell
and i wish i was as brave as you, my army sister
