~ Over There ~

Far from home, I know you're lonely
If you could know -- God, if only
How much you're loved, how much we care
For all you're doing over there

Sometimes, at night, I cannot sleep
Other times, I pray and often weep
For all that you have sacrificed
Securing freedom and our rights

I know it's little comfort, too
To tell you that I'm proud of you
I might not know how you are living,
I do know, it's your life you're giving

Fifty stars and thirteen stripes
It means so much, it isn't hype
When you salute our flag, please know
My prayer's with you -- I love you so
