To My Family

To my family, don’t forget

I love you all, and you can bet

Each night before I end my day.

I think of you and start to pray.

I talk about you all the time,

You’re seldom never on my mind.

Your faith in me has made me strong.

These 18 months won’t be too long

I teach and serve, and love it so

Yet home is where I yearn to go.

But it’s your words that get me through

And for right now there’s work to do.
