Give me the greatness of heart to see The difference between duty and his love for me Give me the understanding so that I may know when duty calls him, he must go Give me a task to do each day to fill the time when he's away When he's in a foreign land, keep him safe, in your loving hand And lord, when duty is in the field, please protect him and be his shield And lord, when deployment is so long, Please stay with me and keep me strong. I promise to never, ever say goodbye to my husband, my hero Just always, always, see you soon!
