Amber Gilley's Poem to Her Husband Who Serves In The Oregon National Guard
For my husband with love
You are a Delta Demon I know that is true
It is in your blood and runs infantry blue
I knew that someday you would go again
It is never easy since you are my best friend
It was almost more than my heart could bear
Me driving away and leaving you there
Off to California you left in a hurry
Kissed me goodbye and said not to worry
That is not my nature not to worry you know
But I really will try because you told me so
It was a long month but you came home on pass
I knew time was short but I hoped it would last
But surprised I wasn't when our time was up
It happened...they loaded you up on that bus
With all of your guys, off to Georgia you went
There was no fear in your eyes, not even a glint
You all trained hard and were the best in the class
What's your reward for busting your brass
You get one day off then it is off to Kuwait
Then you'll go to Iraq I bet you can't wait
Wherever you are and whatever you do
Know that your family is here loving you
From this time on, and from here ever after
I will be waiting at home to start the next chapter
To my husband the light is on...come home to me soon.
