Dad in Afghanistan

Even though you are far away
I think of you every day
with you gone it is hard to breath
cuz i know you can't see me

I saw you
and thought "my hero"
you keep me safe
you were like a protective cape

I hope this is over soon
so that I can see you too
you're thousands of miles away
and I think of you everyday

Just look at the stars
and just know
that that I'm there too
thinking of you

So win this war
or I'll be torn
I love you
...and a whole lot more
