Candle In My Window

There's a candle in my window
And there it'll continue to be,
Until I get the word dear brother
That you have returned safely.

It's flame will flicker and glow
And give off a radiant light,
While you defend our country's name
With honor and in fight.

I'm so very proud of you
For being dedicated and strong,
But all the same I hope time will fly
So your absence won't seem so long.

So there's a candle in my window
For all who drive by will see,
That I pray for you each and every day
To be returned safely to me.

I love you, GT. Please be safe in Iraq. We miss you already!
