"We take for granted our time at home
We take for granted our times alone
We take for granted our safety and cheer
Until we’re away and there is such sadness and fear
This time away has caused me to think
About our lives together, our bond, our link
Things around us change and so do we
Our thought, our goals, our hopes, how we see
Our outlook on life becomes more clear
And more than all of this, my love for you more dear
The time will pass slowly on some of the days
And life will change in so many ways
Know that in this time
my love for you will grow stronger
Soon I’ll be home and the void
will be no longer"
