I know what it's like...
To not see him for months
To worry until he comes home
To not get a call or letter for weeks
To worry that he won't come home at all,

I accept that...
If he comes home
He may not be the same
He may come back broken
He may need my help

military children know what it's like.

This is a poem I wrote my senior year, it is about my dad and my experience with him being in the military.
