Dedicated to my daughter Alexus
The love i have for her is endless
It hurts to leave, it causes restlessness
The nights at sea, thinking of my girl
Reminds of the life i chose in this world
To make a better life for her and for all.
I joined the navy and await for that call
The call to battle at war over seas
Against the worlds' feared enemies,
I'll fight to keep her safe from harm,
And ill raise that flag even with one arm
As long as i can hold my baby girl,
Nothing else matters to me in this world
Only two and probably doesn't understand
Why daddy leaves so long to make a stand
She doesn't know that i to cry at night
I long for her and my wife
To make a better place for her to grow
I refuse to throw it away "HELL NO"
So to her i dedicate this poem today
To tell her daddy will be back, "someday."
