Waiting for His Return.

Tonight the Moon is so crystal clear, I stand in this one spot most every evening looking up at the night sky. I know that you are so far away and even the mention of your name makes me remember the summer you went away. Can you see this same moon and these same stars tonight? I ponder and wait until your safe return praying to God that he would always protect you. Its been a long time since we touch, your voice seems to grow faint everyday your gone. This is the time I wish you never enlisted, your views and my views have always touch the same. I understand the principals of war, but at the sacrafice of family I just can’t get my head around it. You are my life and always will be, my support will always be there for you. I get your letters and cry continualy you words seem almost a cry for help. I hear you trying to balance bravery and fear and it seem to become a burden on you. I wish I could take some of the weight of this off of you. To come to you at night and hold you. I love you with all my heart.
