He heard the call

He Heard The Call

He loved his wife, and little boy,

And in his life, he knew great joy,

until the day, he heard the call,

And in his heart he could not stall,

As he watched, he chocked back tears,

Then hugged his wife, to calm her fears,

All that night, he couldn't sleep,

As he pictured, those grown men weep,

It was that night, he heard the call,

And in his heart, he could not stall,

He kissed his wife, and hugged his son,

Then he stood in line, to get his gun,

The days flew by, or so it would seem,

And now his boy, has become a teen,

He loves his son, With all his heart,

But there is so much time, that they're apart,

This is the life of those that fight,

And we'll wish them home, with all our might,

To all of you, of whom i write,

Your safe return is our delight!
