Over Sea Hero

by Hillary Starz   Jun 8, 2004


Now that you are gone,
I put together pieces of your face,
And pray and pray at night that you’d return home safe, to me, mom and dad,
Oh how I wish to sea you bad,
You wrote me this one letter,
And expressed it with a cry,
You said they have taken both your friends,
So you lye down in your bunk and cry,
You said they shot him in the back,
And taken all his clothes,
Tore pieces off their letters,
So we would never know,
The name of one of your friends,
I think Ralph was his name,
Oh this letter makes me sad,
And yet makes me take some blame,
I wanna be there with you,
But daddy says I can’t,
I am just a girl, yet I wanna make you laugh,
Please oh please don’t cry,
I see that strange look in your eye,
Don’t give up soldier,
I know I’ll see you soon,
Just look up at the sky,
I know you’re staring up at the moon,
And in those scary moments,
I’m looking at it too,
I love you over sea Hero,
And I know that you love me too.
