Nights Are Cold, Lonely, and Long

As a damp darkness fell
Exchanged words of farewell
His phone calls are sporadic
A soldier's life is nomadic

Both are wishing time away
Seems like forever and a day
It's been fifteen months of hell
She's not holding up very well

He's away in a combat zone
She's eating meals all alone
Hugging up to a picture frame
Her bedtime isn't the same

Vivid autumn colors abound
Leaves dance to the ground
Her greatest Christmas gift
His homecoming military airlift

She prays the 23rd Psalm
Sings along to 'Cherry Bomb'
It was always their favorite song
Nights are cold, lonely, and long
