I had to say good-bye today,
it was the hardest thing I had to do,
but my dad was a fighting man,
and we new what we must do,
he said he was fighting a war,
for justice and peace,
I had to hug him there and then,
it was the only chance I had,
I hugged him and loved him,
I watched him walk away,
but saying good-bye to dad,
was hard for me today.
