Deployment, by Butterfly Warrior Subscribe to rss feed for Butterfly Warrior

Don't go daddy,
I need you here,
work calls again,
but let it ring.

Deployment ain't easy,
for neither one of us,
daddy don't go,
you may not come back.

Though safer are you than some other soldiers,
the risk is still there,
R and R come soon so I can see you again,
and my heart will be happy,
until again,
the call of work comes.

The day you deployed I cried but 2 tears,
for all your deployments it feels like years,
twelve months will be over soon,
eventually the call comes again.

Daddy don't go,
I need you here,
You support me through everything,
Don't let deployment ruin it,
you love my writing,
comment on it,
make it better,
even when i write older than i should you don't care,
don't go daddy,
who will be there as my personal book,
my editor, reviser,
and most importantly one of my parents.

Daddy don't go,
I love you but I know you must,
deployment sucks but still,
know i miss you and can't wait for,
the day the call doesn't come,
and deployment doesn't beg,
you'll be at home,
with me,
two nerds at ease.
