Safely Home The U.S. troops have been deployed To the destination of desert sand As they go inch by inch With a gun in their hand Fighting to death for the freedom of Iraq Watching part of our world Becoming far from being intact As each step is taken A prayer is sent to the heavens above If I don't make it through today Please send my family my love With a note in each soldier's pocket Hoping that it will never be read Exclaiming their undying love And they will return home instead I am praying for their safe return From this sacrifice they have committed to That they return home safely to you Peggy Love Smiley Copyright ©2008 Peggy Love Rusher
