Home Coming


My dearest love, I stand awatch upon this earth to protect my family, myself, and my brethren. I am ever vigilant in my duties defending our freedom. I'm in a land far from home, yet you are all with me every day. I carry you in my heart as I miss you more and more in every way. I watch the wall, I scan horizons. Everywhere I look. I see you. Please keep the candle in the window lit, and the home fires burning. Soon my dear love I'll be coming home to you!
