Sending You Off

You walk the road with determined steps

To some place where devastation awaits and duty calls

You walk away with a passionate heart and an unwavering will

Never faltering in your strides as you imperil yourself

I take you in with greedy eyes and a heavy heart

And I count the steps as I watch your retreating back

My breath hitches in my throat as you disappear at the horizon

And my eyes mist over as a deep ache resides in my chest

Yet I send you off with mumbled prayers and whispers of love

With the hope of your return and the memory of your smile
