Father this is my Christmas Wish

You see him my son you gave me to love

In a land far away from us

He fights for freedom, against the enemy

It is cold, wet, and dreary

My Christmas wish this year is  not for diamonds, or gold

It is that you keep him warm on Christmas Day give him the memories his Daddy and I helped to make of Christmas past that it warms his heart and he smile and he laugh with joy in his heart.

That you whisper your love in both of his ears and he feels your spirit inside so deep

That you give him the heart of David, the wisdom of Paul, the enthusiasm of Peter, and the love of John

That your presence is seen by those he’s around

That you give him and his brothers who protect and fight every day laughter so hard their belly’s ache

That they share candy, cookies and stories and they feel  a peice of home if only for a moment

That they share candy with a child over there and share the story of your son’s birth

Remember why they are there and what they are worth.

Then focus them back on the job at hand with no distractions

Just one more thing I will ask

Let him be home next Christmas!!

Oh, and Grandbabies some day!!!
