03/08/2008 Deployed Troop Poem by Coreena Dejesus

I'm getting ready for bed I begin to think,
My life change with just a little bit of ink.
Where could I have been instead of here,
My eyes dropping yet another tear.
Wonder why I'm crying and so depressed,
It's because my life's a journey another quest.

I signed a paper and was sent miles away from home,
In another country like another life I felt really alone,
All my friends and family everyone so far away,
I kneel before my bed in the dark I sit there a pray.
Keep me safe, and look out for the ones I care,
Lord hear my cries and please hear my prayer.

So many troops and forces in so many locations,
From across the world in all the nations.
Troops so far away from everyone they know,
Deployed.. someone has to do it although.
It's hard to be away I know it's true!
Support your troops whatever you do.
