Whether its weeks or months Sandy or green We all miss our loved ones, We all love them so. Some may be aboard ready to travel home, Others travelling back, to what as known as a hell hole. But here at home, sat waiting wanting needing. Passengers and crew brought together by the same purpose Be it economy or first class- the distance we cover is the same. In this for the long haul and no turning back, we need each other at this time, We are all aboard the same flight.
Sarah S- proud fiancé of a serving soldier, June 2008
Are you proud?
Do I miss him? Seems a silly question to ask. How do I cope? I wonder at times. Do I feel alone? In a room full of people. And yet the one question I am never asked is…am I proud? Am I proud? With every twinkle of hope and despair, I wish you could see how much I care. It pains me to know there are those, who don’t understand, If only they knew their lives are in your hands. It amazes me the things you do everyday, It is so overwhelming; I guess what I’m trying to say, I love you and you make me so proud, every single day.
Dedicated to Si, my wonderful fiancé, currently serving in Iraq. Sarah S, June 2008
Two Months It’s been two months since you went away It’s been two months since we held each other that day I see your smile when I close me eyes Your eyes do sparkle like stars in night’s sky’s I think of you every minute of every day In the two months that you have been away I love you now more than I did then I don’t know how or why or when You are so wonderful in all that you do And I am so lucky that you are you An amazing person I am in no doubt And your guys respect you for you watch out You look after your lads like a parent would And far more than that and more if you could You all work hard and in each other you trust You do what is needed and go where you must But you are never alone or far from my mind And when you are home our love we will find Our love is not lost forgotten or hidden But you have to stay focused and do orders as written It’s been two months since to Brize you did go And I love you still and much more than you know It’s been two months and three more must there be Until RNR reunites you with me Stay strong and stay focused my wonderful you Patched up in the field with stitches and glue I will love you forever of that there’s no doubt So roll on November and You’re Home I can Shout Kenny Garrick, May 2008 With You You are fighting for your country I am with you In battle scarred foreign lands I walk with you Under fire from our enemies I fight with you In times of uncertainty I comfort you Though we are forced apart I am with you When you feel all alone I am right by you When in times of rejoicing I party with you In times of sadness I will mourn with you The burdens of combat I will carry with you The victories of combat I will celebrate with you The tragedies of combat I will share with you Wherever you are I will stand with you You are never alone I am with you Your love I cherish and hold for you And in my thoughts I am their with you For you carry my heart along with you Kenny Garrick May 2008 Never Before Your eyes are the stars in the sky at night Kenny Garrick April 2008 No News No news is good news that’s what they say So I watch sky news all through the day Then when it’s late at night when I am all alone I wish that you had some how managed to phone I know you are busy fighting out on the front line And I have to be more patient and give you time Another day passes and still there’s no news The television’s on and I listen to their views They do not mention the conflict of where you are Where you’re fighting in a country that is oh so far For the long awaited phone call I should not hurry As you tell me not to fear and I should not worry They say no news is good news least that is what I hear So why oh why do I sit in morbid fear I love you so much I ache that you’re away So please let’s hope your phone call comes today I know you are busy fighting on the front line And I have to be more patient and give you time Your love for me is clear it’s there for all to see But I am very selfish and I want you home with me I want you more than ever since you have gone to fight The days roll past so slowly and the tears do blur my sight No news is good news at least that’s what the say To the lord our God in heaven keep you safe this day I pray I wonder how you’re keeping and if you are safe tonight So proud that you’re surviving the battles that you fight I love you and I miss you and hate the silence of the phone I can not wait until the moment that to me you do come home For the long awaited phone call I should not be so reliant For No news is good news and of the fear I am defiant Kenny Garrick April 2008 On Hold Like an Angel sent from heaven above You came and furnished me with your love To do your duty in Afghanistan you have gone I pray to god that nothing will go wrong Come back to me my Angel of heaven In months we count that add to seven Come back unscathed from battles hard won Come back safe and hang up your gun Twenty two years you have fought for all It will soon be your time to have your ball The months will pass in there own time But I am on hold till our arms entwine You have your job you’ve trained long and hard No doubt this campaign will be just as hard But remember this if things get rough You have now and always got my love Nothing more have you to your boss’s show You have done it all and taken every blow Keep out of trouble from friend and foe And for me please keep your head down low No longer alone in this life are you Our hearts combined what were two What happens to you will happen to me So keep safe come back to me A soldiers lot is a hard load to bare But remember my love of all those that care Each carries the burden when to battle you’ve gone Of the fears of not knowing there is no joy no song So come back safe and take our lives off hold For in our love for each other we’ve struck gold Kenny Garrick April 2008 For the troops For the troops who fight in foreign lands Across barren rocks and desert sands You are not alone but in our hearts You brave soldiers in foreign parts Gone to fight for Queen and Country Gone to fight for all in sundry You are so brave and gallant too The world is better for having you When times are hard the conditions rough Remember you have your nations love So proud are we of our service men And wish no harm does come to them So pack your Burgan and your day sack Loved ones wait till you come back Safe and sound from those foreign lands Where you do fight on barren rocks and sands Kenny Garrick April 2008 Thinking of You I’m thinking of you There’s so much you’ve done I cannot imagine I’m thinking of you You work day to day There are things that you’ve been through I’m thinking of you This poem’s for the soldiers C.Maund Copyright 2007
