Poems
Jan 2011
I Wasn't There
I wasn't there when you were born
I was in a foreign land
I wasn't there to see you walk
Or take you by the hand
I wasn't there when you turned one
My country needed me
I wasn't there to hear you talk
I'm as sorry as can be
I wasn't there to see you smile
When you met Santa Claus
I was here defending peace
They say, a rightous cause
I wasn't there to slay the monsters
That live beneath your bed
I wasn't there to tuck you in
Or kiss you on your head
I wasn't there to say goodbye
And wipe the tears you cried
The day they came in uniform
And told you that I died
