ON THE WINGS OF FREEDOM
As the
evening sun disappears from the
sky,
and the world pauses to catch
it's breath-
When the first stars appear on
the horizons above-
It's you that fills my dreams,
and my heart with love-
You can
find tears on my pillow,
and stains upon my soul-
From the moment we met so long
ago-
I knew without you, I could
never remain whole
So I fall
apart in silence,
when in the eyes of our young I
stare-
and find myself reaching for
you,
through memories raw and bare-
When I lay
them down to sleep each night,
I pray they'll understand-
that Daddy loves them from where
he is-
for he's a Soldier with an
Angel's hand
From
weapons of battle to wings of
freedom,
I felt your spirit soar-
It was love of Country, God and
Family,
that led you to that distant
shore
When I
hear others say you've fallen,
on the battlefield of war and
life-
And it's sad you died in agony,
leaving two children and a wife-
I just
can't help but tell them,
that fallen you've never done-
And there is no pain and agony,
in the arms of the Heavenly Son-
When they
ask why I'm not angry,
I point at our young and say-
You went before us in battle,
but we'll meet again, some day
I have no
time for bitterness,
your life meant more to me-
And when in the eyes of our
young I stare,
it's our love, I always see
