Hello my love!

How are you today?

Yes, I know you hate being so far away.

I miss you too.

No no, I'm fine

No need to worry I'm doing alright.

Yes, I know you do.

I love you too!

What's that you say?

Oh, I see.

I understand,

Please don't worry.

I can wait.

Yes, summer does seem so far away.

No no, that's fine.

I'll be alright.

Yes, I know you worry.

I appreciate that.

So let me put your fears to rest.

I love you near

I love you afar

I don't need you beside me

You're always right here, in my heart.

Nothing can change this feeling towards you

It's connected through God

Eternal, and true.

So be calm,

And be tranquil,

And thank you for calling each week.

Hearing your voice means the world to me.

So good bye now my love,

Take care and God's speed.

Yes, of course I'll be waiting

For you to call me next week.

How are you my Darling?

I miss you today!

My heart aches so much

when your so far away!

I hate that this business

must keep me from you!

They may keep me longer...

"You know how they do!"

I pray God will hold you

and keep you from harm.

Till I once again feel you

held safe in my arms.

I'm so thankful that

in love and trust we abide...

But can't help but worry

when your not by my side!

Till the summertime

brings us together once more

I'll cling to my memories

of you to adore.

God will give me the courage

and counsel inside

as my loniness grows

without you by my side...

And I pray that he give's me

the strentgh that I seek...

To help me hold on

Till I call you next week!
