Tears In Iraq

I awake with tears falling down my face ,yet they are not tears begot from fear of this place

They are not tears of fear for meeting death ,for god is with me even after my last breath

My tears come from Sorrow that i know you must feel .tears that only being together can heal
So i awake with tears falling down my face , and even then a smile finds way in a dark place

A smile that shines as only love can ,A smile at a thought of being home with you again

Back home with you in my arms so tight ,with not one sorrowfull tear anywhere in sight

To my loving wife Katie Johnson
