Missing You *~* by Cathy Curtis-O'Connell-Ayon
 |
It's the little things, that touch my heart and remind
Like the day you left, when I moved your truck
Quick departures cause things to be left behind
Like, your empty Coke can, I now see, was left behind,
just like....me
It's not that I mind, the cleaning up after
Taking care of your business and various things
Cuz we made good memories of love and of laughter
I'm up for these tasks, cuz your love gives me wings....
Wings to fly over an unkind word
Said by another, to discourage, not bless
To fly high under prayers, guaranteed to be heard
Low enough to support others put to this test
I can't wait for your phone calls, the sound of your voice
An e-mail, or a word from some other wife
The role of a miltary spouse was my choice
Tho' it's not for sissies, I still love my life
I love it because it's God's choice for me
Whether it's easy or not, I won't run
We want America to stay free, to worship as He
Ordained us to be... through His Son
"Onward Christian Soldiers" is a song we used to sing
And in Sunday School, we also sang "I'm In The Lord's Army"
So, tho' I hate for you to go,
I'll sing aloud, "Let Freedom Ring"
And trust that God, will help you to...
"Be All That You Can Be"
I pray His love, as well as mine,
Will keep you safe and warm
As you bravely go to protect and defend...
This country we both love
That you and fellow soldiers will come to know no harm
Because you're surrounded by angels...
And His Holy Spirit Dove
To go in front of and behind, and flank you on either side
As you go In the Name, the Power, and the Glory of the Lord
That your enemies will find...no safe place to hide
Remember, when his flesh was weak,
Samson found strength in His Word
"One rock, in the right place, at the right time",
"Slays every giant"
When the Psalmist David slayed Goliath,
He found out, it was true...
That supernatural strength prevailed,
When on God he was reliant
The Faith that empowered David, lives on in me and you
And so I let you go with God, and endure the loneliness
Keep busy with constructive things and pray for you each day
Help other wives and children, coping also with the stress
Until the day that you come back, home to me... to stay
