The tears in my eyes,
Made the world fuzzy and unfamiliar.
But I have to be strong,
For me and mom,
For brother and father.
You say the army will treat you well,
And I can only hope it’s true.
The time apart will be hard,
And the future will be unpredictable.
You are strength and power,
If you can do this, we can too.
