War

She watched him board the plane,
She is sad to see him go
his baby is on the way
only 3 months to go
but sadly daddy won't be home

Days turn into week
and weeks into months
the baby's room is painted
and the cribs all set up
but sadly daddy won't be home

Baby's cries echo down the hall
the baby is home after all
    - a knock at the door -
she answers it... but falls to the floor
daddy won't be coming home.

I support all of the people who have gone away to war
all of the love ones killed and all the pain that comes
i wish that all the violence would end
so that we could all live how we deserve
with your families all around us smiling and happy
not grieving for those whom they have lost
bring our soldiers home safely from the war, oh God of heaven and earth,
make it so there is no more hurt, pain or loss
make it so we all love one another, so we forgive each other
for our faults and mistakes, for our lies and our crimes
remember all those who have died and sacraficed their lives
they deserved their lives to but choose to give it up
so that we could live in peace and with freedom.
