What War Did To Me

You’ve been there for me,
through it all,
You’re always there for me,
when I started to fall.

You protected me from the world,
Which left you with bruises on your face.
All the tears and scratches,
That I wish I could erase.

When my life fell apart,
You patched things up.
You took care of me,
Even when times got rough.

If you think of me,
While you’re protecting our country,
Think of how much you mean to me
And how proud I am of you, Donny.

Though the time we spent together was short,
All the memories are locked in me.
I will wait and wait until you come home,
Because without you I have no key.
