How do I begin to tell
you how very much I miss
you. The very depths of my
soul breathe the words to
the whirling winds...
"Come Home..."
How do I begin to tell you
that the days you are not
here are filled with
longing for you... a
longing to know that you
are safe and well ... that
you are not hungry ... and
that the enemy is no where
near you.
How do I begin to tell you
that each night I whisper
your name in prayer to God
above ... and I ask Him to
hold you ever so close ...
to walk before you ... to
place angels all around
you ... and to bring you
back safely to me ... how
do I tell you that I
breathe your name in
prayer so many times each
day I cannot begin to
count them...
How do I tell you that the
only wish of my heart ...
the only echo of my soul
... are the words..."Come
Home to me..."
How do I tell you that
when something happens
during the day I want to
reach out and take your
hand ... and that I want
you to feel my hand in
yours now ... there where
you are. I want our very
souls to connect... I want
you to know you are not
alone...God is with you
and my love is there ...
it will always be...
The Bible says if we
delight in the Lord that
He will give us the
desires of our hearts ...
and I try so much each day
to delight in Him ... for
the desire of my heart is
for you to come home to me
... to be safe ... to see
your son running through
the meadows and fields
around our home...
I long to hear your key
turn in our door... I long
to hear the sound of you
singing to our son at
bedtime... I long to tell
you how my day went and to
hear about how yours went
... and I long for you to
hold me ... and to feel
the beat of my heart...
And to know that with each
beat ... the echo resounds
towards heaven..."Send him
back home to me, please
dear Lord. Send him back
soon."
I know you have a mission
to fulfill ... and I want
our country to be safe ...
and peoples of all lands
to know freedom ... and I
understand why you are
there ... and I support
that with all that I am...
But all the while... I
look at the calendar and
mark the days ... until I
can run into your arms ...
and once again you are
home.
Until then, my love ...
know the two words that I
send towards you with all
my love ... and the words
I send towards Heaven all
say "Come Home".
Each night I turn the
porch light on ... and I
wait ... and our son waits
... and the door of my
heart is open for you...
Come home ... soon.
Until then... I love you.
I always will....
