Marine Corps Nomads

At night when I crawl into bed; My lonely pillow ‘neath my head; I close my eyes and say a prayer; “God keep him safe way over there; And make me strong so I wont cry; It’s kind of hard to be alone ; To teach the kids when there half grown; With out the strength of a fathers hand; To guide them in this troubled land; And God will you please let him know; How much we love and miss him so.” And then I feel across the bed; to where he use to lay his head.

We also found…
