DEPLOYMENT DAY
Go in peace dear son
may your journey be light
and may you be well fed
may the sun shine always
on you shoulders
may you always be well read
and may the blessings of the king
fall upon your table and
reign down upon your head
like precious wine and ointment
and priceless broken bread
so until you return home dear son
I will keep you in my prayers
and hope with all my heart
that in all of my tomorrow’s
you will be forever there.
God be with you my son
I will miss you very deeply
for the next ten long months
I love you with all my heart.
Be strong and courageous!
