Deployment
Sand and Sun
Colors of green and tan
Combat boots
a year lost
An empty house
An empty bed
Where he used to sleep
Civilian clothes collecting dust
Seeing his tired eyes
Through the computer screen
Unable to embrace him
Loneliness deep in his voice
Counting down the days
Till he returns home
Till we can hold him again
Till we can be a family once more
