Danny Strong

A million miles away
Still near my heart

Standing up for the stars and stripes
Defending the weak and innocent

Leaving us
To protect us

Sadness swells inside at times
But I’m more proud then anything

A million miles away
Still near my heart

Letters back and forth
Video chat now and then

Sometimes though
Weeks without conversation

Worry rises inside at times
But I stay stronger than most

For now a million miles away
But always near my heart
