To Aiyana With Love

By Starlene Stringer

 

Little Girl- Daddy loves you!

Though sometimes he’s far

He’s fighting to protect

The red, white, blue and the stars

When our Nation’s in turmoil

He’s vowed to go fight

To protect what is good

What is just

And what’s right

He does it for you

He does it for me

So we may continue to live

In a land that is free

When things get scary

He’s one of the brave

Who steps up and fixes

The mess that was made

When bad people do things

That aren’t very nice

He tells them to stop it

Or they’ll pay a big price

Then when things get all better

When the bad people are good

Daddy will come home

Just like he said he would

I know your Daddy misses you

As much as you miss him

And he dreams of the day

He’ll see you again

But until that day comes

We all have to pray

That God will protect Daddy

While he fights for our

USA.
