Soldier

I guess my blog theme is Family for today? Enjoy!

Soldier

The first day that he left

With a big smile on his face

He gave me a high five

As he walked out the door

Everyday I pray

That he'll be home safe

Kneeling by my bed

Whispering soft prayers

Everyday I walk

Down to the old baseball field

Playing as a lead pitcher

On my high school team

Everyday I pray

That he'll be home safe

And maybe someday

He'll be here to see

Everyday I remember

The days we played catch

He was the very first

Who taught me how to pitch

On the last day of the season

Playing my final game

I just hit a home run

And heard a loud shout

It was my father

In the stands

Yelling

I'm proud of you son!

And without hesitation

I yelled back

I'm proud of you too dad...
