Dear Daddy,
I wanna be like you.
I wanna wear the same uniform
When I get older
I wanna work hard to make you proud
Like you have made me
Until then I will help
Mommy through the hard times
I will help watch my brothers grow
I know you have to go away for awhile
I dont want you to go daddy
But you have too
To keep mommy, me
And my brothers safe
Never give up daddy
One day
You will say
Thats my daughter
Thats my soldier.
Written for my daughter after seeing her father deploy back in 'O8
