7000 miles away from home


Graphic by Sonnetwolf Designz Susan Joyner-Stumpf
He is 7000 miles away from home
He wants his wife

He wants the bright lights
He wants his love

He wants to belong.
He remembers the little angels
And the eggnog with cinnamon;

Dear Lord I pray hear his request
He wants his wife and his life
But he is 7000 miles away from home.

Dear Lord, please send him home this day
To kiss her lips once more.

He wants to spend Christmas with his angel
Just one more time he pleads.

With bullets flying and
Love so far away
The air is tight with fright
The days are long this night.

But Dear Lord He needs and
He wants to spend Christmas with his wife.
 But he is 7000 miles away from home.

The love he knows
The love he remembers
The longing for her
This Christmas time
But he is 7000 miles away from home.

Please listen all who hear
He wants his wife this Christmas dear…
He is in the desert
So far away,

From home this day;
He is 7000 miles away from home.

Its Christmas time and he wants his wife.
But he is 7000 miles away from his life.
