My Marine

One day he will leave me here to deal with life alone

Only for a little while he say's

What if "a little while" turns into forever?

What if my marine leaves and never makes it home to me?

I wouldn't be able to handle that

He say's it will be fine

And I know he still has a year until he goes

But sometimes I sit up at night and think "What if?"

I'm so proud of him for the decision he's making

I'm still so worried though

I love my future marine with all of my heart and I am not willing to give him up

I'll just pray

Pray that God brings my marine back to me one day

With honor and pride
