His Baby Goes To War

August 26
It's time to say
Goodbye everyone
She's going away

I love you guys
She had to say
They wipe tears
Don't go away

Go She must
But please see
The pain you feel
Its Temporary

He took her hand
Placed it in
This will keep you
So Safe within

Two weeks later
Is her flight
She feels fear
But not in sight

She goes so far
To fight a war
her home safe
Her family asks for

She sits alone
On the drive back
Smiling at thoughts
Of the family pact

Defender of man
Her family sayin'
Happy thoughts
Are replaying

Il see you soon
Please be happy
Afghanistan
Ain't so crappy

There on the street
Is where he cried
As he waved her off
And said his goodbye

To his baby girl
She's off to war you see
Grown up so much
Life has set her free.
