A Mother's Good Bye

She packs her bags, she can't be late
Her flights at ten, and its half past eight
The rush of the morning, Though fitting the mood
Is not what she hoped for, Its not what she knew
Her mother sits back, Just waiting in line
To be the last one, To tell her daughter goodbye
For years she's played house, she’s played doctor, and more
But how can a mother, See her daughter play War
Not in the backyard, or the park down the street
But in real combat missions, In Baghdad and Tikrit
She knows her daughters strong, She’s the toughest one there
But to this "old fashioned" mother, It just doesn't seem fair
She turns away crying, Not wanting to see
But can't hold it back, as she watches her leave
"She'll be back before long", her husband confides
"We haven't seen the last of, our daughter's goodbyes"
She worried to death, She isn't alone
So she silently prays, For those who won't make it home.
