Long drives and cool coastlines

Another life another place

More to know and more places to go

But in a new and different place, the other half will remain in this space

Another house is built, but never home

No roots to call my own with my life on a shoot

Pull the trigger and watch me fly through the sky

Another crazy life another place

The stuff doesn’t change, only the place

He put on his uniform and a brave face

Off in a puff

He served  

He worked

But we served too

He missed our birthdays

Our concerts and games

A portion of my life he will never regain

We served too

We let him go across the country and the world so we can remain free

We let him go so others could have their freedom too

We see others with the life we will never feel the same

We served too

As I see our symbol and our anthem play

We cherish our life to the very end of the day

We put on a brave face every day

Though we never wore the uniform

We hurt too
