Ready, Set, Don't Go
This I wrote for my soldier. I wrote it after a dream I had. The poem tells him not to go but I stand by him for his choice.
You are putting on your uniform and getting ready to go.
You don't need my blessing but you ask me how I feel about it.
I try not to cry as I say get ready, your set, but please don't go.
I will stand by you for you are doing what you know is right.
As you get ready to walk out the door, you turn for a hug.
I hug you and tell you I will be waiting for your return.
As you walk out the door I whisper, get ready, your set, don't go.
I wipe the tears away.
Christmas comes along and you come home.
You have to leave to go back.
Our parents see you to the door as we gather you in our arms, we keep our thought in our heads.
If you could hear our mind, you would hear get ready, your set, but please don't go.
We stand by you but we don't want you to go.
Get ready, your set, don't go.
You don't need my blessing but you ask me how I feel about it.
I try not to cry as I say get ready, your set, but please don't go.
I will stand by you for you are doing what you know is right.
As you get ready to walk out the door, you turn for a hug.
I hug you and tell you I will be waiting for your return.
As you walk out the door I whisper, get ready, your set, don't go.
I wipe the tears away.
Christmas comes along and you come home.
You have to leave to go back.
Our parents see you to the door as we gather you in our arms, we keep our thought in our heads.
If you could hear our mind, you would hear get ready, your set, but please don't go.
We stand by you but we don't want you to go.
Get ready, your set, don't go.
