To Love A Soldier

by Kimberly Freeman

on Secret Lullaby (2017)

Cold and dusty
The vacant pillow
Of a soldier
But I wait
Patiently
That's what it takes
To love a soldier
Once he
Swore to me
That someday soon
I'd see my soldier
So I wait
Patiently
That's what it takes
To love a soldier
That's what it takes
To love a soldier
A folded flag
They brought to me
The broken promise
Of a soldier
But I wait
Patiently
I forgive you
Oh, my soldier
That's what it takes
To love a soldier
Years pass
Slowly
And I grow old
But not my soldier
I wait
Patiently
That's what it takes
To love a soldier
I wait
Patiently
