We cry when you leave

We cry when you leave We cry when you return You see so many tears through out your journey You see other's tears and your own worst fears yet you still continue on each day You see the stories through different eyes You see the truth and flinch at the lies You hear the cries and bombs bursting in air To make sure that OUR flag is still standing there We take you for gains and forget the losses till the day rolls around when we step aside for you then the next you're just gone again You don't ask for much just a little respect but unless your in blue, white or green what you deserve is never recieved I'm taking this stand for all those to hear I live in America land of the free home of the brave it's all because of people like you thank you for your life and sacrifice someday I'll make it up to you Thank you again for all that you do I raise the flag in my yard everyday for you for the past, present, and future Coast Guard, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard, and the Army Please come home safe soon I pray for you.
