It's the middle of december
but this particular year,
all I can do is look back
on past christmas cheer.
Around here there's no singing,
no jingle bells or silent night.
No pine trees with tinsel,
not a snowflake in sight.
I'll wake up christmas morning
with just one thing on my mind,
my friends and my family
that i've left behind.
Oh, i'll see christmas this year,
it will be on the news,
and in pictures from home,
I hope to see some of you.
You see, I'm a soldier
deployed far from home.
I volunteered to go, so
to a distant land I was flown.
I've served but three years,
got at least seventeen left,
before I can COUNT ON a christmas
at home like the rest.
But don't feel sorry for me,
it's the life that I choose.
You don't understand why?
Look in the mirror, it's for you!
It's for you and your children
and future grandchildren too.
That isn't meant to sound noble,
it's just why I do what I do.
So if you don't mind my asking
for just one thing this year,
a quick prayer for the soldiers
and the ones we hold dear.
Now to my mother and father,
Brandy, Billy and Emily,
Have a very merry christmas!!
I'll be there next year--hopefully!
