To Joel (in Iraq)

I have a dear friend that went off to war,
i miss him dearly and wish him well.

when i dream hes wounded it rocks me to the core,
to think him dead goes off in my head like a bell.

ever since i was a little girl he would protect me,
he called me his little princess.

i loved him like a brother cant you see?
i wish i could get him out of this mess.

the risk to lose him is to great,
he sends me letters but only to see him would assure me hes alright.

so here at home i await,
to see him home would be a wonderful sight.

I pray each night that God will protect him,
keep him safe from the enemies fire.

to me he is like kin,
and from all this waiting i am getting tired.

come home Joel,
before something happens,

i know you have a duty that you believe you need to fill with all your soul,
but you must hurry home please hasten.

i cant lose my dear friend,protector,and soldier.

To Joel over in Iraq....hurry home!!!!!!
