As I am

As I lay here in bed or sitting and watching the children play...
my heart skips a beat and I lose a breath each day...

feeling those feelings we all go through...
when our husbands are on the road and not knowing what we will go through...

I hear the phone ring as I rush over and answer it..
I keep every word he has to say close at heart and I don't forget it..

As I lay here on the couch watching that romantic scene...
I sit here and feel that I want him to be there but its just a dream...

As I am driving up the road going his way to get him...
anticipating the time till I get to be with him...

As I am running into his arms that are mine...
I think that it will only be for a short time.

As I sit here in the cold lonely car...

I watch him walk away knowing it will be again those long and lonely days.
