Haley's Poem


Off You Go

I saw you walk to the plane.

I wait while the plane fires up.

I feel tears fill my eyes.

I watch the plane take off.

And I remember you are in it.

I look at the people around me.

And all I see is people crying.

  1. God Bless Her.

    You know my husband is in that unit too. I was there, and she's right, that's pretty much all you saw.

    God Bless You and Yours, and I'm sure we'll see you when they come back, and they will come back.

    All my prayers,
    Sarah Wood

  2. Thank you, Sarah. Wish I'd met you the other day when we saw them off again. It doesn't get any easier, does it?
