A Blue Christmas
I wait for you with silent tears
Your love pounds within my soul
My fears and worries always there
As freedom remains your goal
It was sad to spend our Christmas
Without your loving charms
Our children’s faces not quite as bright
When missing daddy’s arms
With pride we honor your patriot’s heart
And admire the job that you do
But at Christmastime it’s so very hard
To be happy while missing you
This sacrifice we make in life
For the promise of a better world
As you fight and lay your life on the line
That peace the future might hold
For country and right you lead the fight
While we wait patiently your return
But we want you to know, at Christmastime
A new strength we have all had to learn
We pray for your speedy, safe return
While your stocking still hangs by the fire
Awaiting the day when you walk through this door
As the Man we all love and admire

It is hard to be without them at this time of year
