Fighting for Two

---again, for another contest---

dear jane,

good day my dear
for you have nothing to fear
all is well with the war
though i dont know what we're fighting for
i have no need to understand
to why i must protect our land
if needbe, i'll give my life
for everything, for you, my wife

dear john,

i was over the toilet again today
i have to leave, im on my way
the doctors waiting for me
within a few hours i'll see

dear jane,

i dont know what to make of
what you last wrote
please pardon my ignorance
but did you mean that you're pregant?

dear john,

the test results come in today
and a medley of us is on its way
but when you left those weeks ago, you see
you left part of you inside of me
don't worry though, i'll be alright
just please don't give up the fight
carry me in all that you do
and know that now, you're fighting for two

dear jane,

i see the circle of life carries on
cause part of crew is now gone
but i couldn't be happier to hear
that piece of us will be soon be here
take care of yourself, stay strong
i'll be home soon, it wont be long

dear john,

jane asked me to write you
she's busy in the other room
she hold in her hand, a bundle of joy
congrats to you on your baby boy

dear jane,

know that all of us here are happy for you
i really hate to bare the bad news
this is rick, the commander in chief
unfortunately i have to share the grief
we lost john early this morning
the birds hadn't even started singing
all we could see was the rise of the sun
his life ended, just as yours had begun
but know that his last words
was that you was his world
he said he'd do anything for you
cause he knew he was fighting for two

...support our troops, and all that they do....
