Babe,
As I drove you to the pier
knowing that you'd be gone for so long.
You left us just the other day
but it's your job and must be done.
With tears in my eyes
we said our goodbyes.
I told myself to be strong
I tried so hard not to cry.
As I got in the jeep
I wanted to turn back.
As much as my heart did ache
I knew that you'd be back.
Then we drove off in the car
I said "Trevor please don't cry.
It's only for alittle while
not a forever goodbye".
I said daddy will be back soon
but not soon enough.
Till then we'll have to be rugged
we have to be tough.
You'll be gone for six months
and only days have passed.
I wonder if I'll make it,
how will I last.
The loneliness that I feel
the tears that I have shed
are just the beginning
of a rough road ahead.
The days are long
and the nights they are lonely.
I have dreams about you
when you were here to hold me.
These days will not last forever
they will soon dwindle down.
You will first have to travel
the whole world around.
Just know that we miss you
and please don't prolong.
Hurry home darling
back where you belong.
Love always,
SunShine
