The time is nearly here , and another tour lies ahead
my eyes will be sore again, from the tears I will shed.
Fear is already making ,its home here in my heart
in a few short weeks , you and I will have to part.

Fear is my constant companion , while you are away ,
it’s always there with me , every night and every day.
Just as my love for you , is with me all of the time,
the fear is there also , they walk the same line .

But my love is so much deeper , and it will help me cope ,
you promised to come back , and it strengthens love with hope.
So while you are away , to do the job that soldiers do,
I will wait and worry , and fight fear with love for you.
