To My Sister

Thinking of You

I’m thinking of you
As you’re so far away
Where saving our lives
Is just part of your day

There’s so much you’ve done
For the people back home
We send love and our thanks
And hope you’re never alone

I cannot imagine
How hard it must be
To find courage to fight
When you just want to flee

I’m thinking of you
As you’re so far away
Where saving our lives
Is just part of your day

You work day to day
Putting your life on the line
Without a complaint,
A refusal or whine

There are things that you’ve been through
That we do not see
So we cannot comprehend
How hard it must be

I’m thinking of you
As you’re so far away
Where saving our lives
Is just part of your day

This poem’s for the soldiers
All the way up through the ranks
As you’re all in my prayers
I send my love and my thanks
