Come Home
August 23, 2017
To those who are away,
Training to protect and fighting for freedom,
A message from loved ones: come home
To the hardcore Marines
And to the fearless Army
Come home
To the Air Force high in the sky
And the Navy floating on the water
Come home
To the ever vigilant Coast Guard
And the Trainees at basic
Come home
Take heart you who stay back,
And worry for those who are away,
They are coming home
To the concerned parents
And the anxious grandparents
They are coming home
To the worried siblings & friends
And to the ever faithful spouse
They are coming home
To the Nation who is guarded,
Those you sent to defend you,
They are coming home
