T'was the night before Christmas... 
 
In a faraway land........
With dunes of sand as far as the eye can see....
He waits for the mail by the bed with Glee...
 
Visions of family pics and news dance through his head..
He nervously awaits perched on his bed....  
 
As the mail clerk nears he feels all aflutter... 
Hearing  Smith...  Johns... then his name, among the others.. 
 
He grabs his mail and feels his heart soar.. 
Fore its from his love, from a far distant shore.. 
 
He reads his letter, feeling her love.. 
He misses her dearly and just wants a hug.. 
 
He is fighting to save a country from a horrid fate... 
>From a leader who is filled with such undying hate.. 
 
He rarely complains, he does not whine.. 
For his is an Honor that is built on time.. 
 
He is a soldier, serving in Iraq.. 
No tree, no presents, only attacks... 
 
He soldiers on, carries on the mission... 
With one thought in mind, for the loved ones he is missing.. 
 
So... when we are all setting our tables this year.. 
Let's all remember to leave one space clear... 
 
Keep these brave souls in our thoughts, and our prayers... 
And let them all know that the USA cares!
 
Loving all of you who support our service members and make sure that they
are in your prayers every minute of every day!! Take care and Happy
Holidays!! 

Proud Military Wife!!!
