Sitting here in the dark of night Imagining what it's like back home Knowing you've decorated the house Our kids anxious for Santa to come Instead of being there with you I'm in a dangerous and desolate land Picturing the way you must look tonight Pretending you're holding my hand I know you didn't want me to go But it's where my duty now lies Leaving you at the dock that day Made the tears well in my eyes None of us wanted this awful war Yet I fight for my strong convictions Allegiance to a country where freedom dwells Help me withstand terrible conditions We must defeat those who practice oppression To keep the fighting from American shores So as we struggle for peace and equality We help to open freedom's doors I'm sorry I can't be home for Christmas The first one we've spent apart But until we're together once again I'll hold you warmly in my heart Darling, I know you can read my thoughts And the way I'm feeling tonight Please maintain the faith in my love for you And keep the home fires burning bright Kathleen McCoy Eldridge© December 9, 2007 All Rights Reserved
