Tears streaming down my face
A last goodbye for sometime
All of us dreading, crying
Not wanting you to leave
Looking around the room
Young children sobbing
Spouses weeping into their hands
Siblings crying silently, worried
Parents cry and hold on to one another
Everyone worried for their soldier’s safety
Praying they come home safe
