I WISH I WAS AT HOME! For all that have no wish to be where they are.

Again, I wrote this for my son. He is so homesick and he is now counting the days and hours before his R&R. He should be here on July 3! Independence, but only for two weeks.

MAYBE SOME OF YOU CAN RELATE TO THIS ONE.

While in Ft. Bliss, TX a girl came and told me that she had just learned she was pregnant and her husband had just received his deployment orders. He would be back in time for the birth but would miss all the magical stuff preliminary to that! She asked me to write a poem to Daddy from his unborn... Sign in to see full entry.
