In My Dreams-With Me (For The Troops) Poem by Daniel Wittfoth

That last kiss we shared
still lingers here
The softness of your lips
pressed into my memory

The moment we said goodbye
the tears-how they fell from my eyes
Oh my heart broke-shattered
felt like it had just exploded deep inside

But it's alright
I can sleep tonight
Knowing you'll always be here
in my dreams-with me

And the morning may come
a new day to dawn
Wipe the tears away
and hold you so close to me
knowing you're doing the same
all these things I'm going through-you feel the same

I'll keep in sight
the moments in memory of that night
When our bodies
said all without a single word
We both knew the time would come
it's your job-it's what you do to serve the military
Stand proud under old glory
keeping old red, white, and blue safe

But it's alright
I can sleep tonight
Knowing you'll always be here
in my dreams-with me

The news is unwanted
some things I just don't want to see or hear
Maybe later tonight I'll call your mom and dad
make plans for dinner on sunday afternoon
I know they feel just as I do right now
and we pray that everything finds you alright

But it's alright
I can sleep tonight
Knowing you'll always be here
in my dreams-with me....

'Just something for the one's doing their jobs & for those waiting at home for safe returns...'
