Dads Living Abroad

It doesn’t take the actual war to separate families. Often families are separated because of threats of war or the preparations in case of war. This means that many military men and women, thousands of them may not see the families for months and sometimes years.

To those Fathers who live most of their live abroad and away from theire families, this one is for you

 

Dads Living Abroad

 

Don’t see my dad he works far away

A long time ago duty called, he had to obey

Doing his part for our country

Soldier assigned to the Her Majesty’s Navy

Lieutenant at first but now he’s a Captain 

I know he’s on a Ship and may never see home again

Very dangerous times have curtailed his freedom to stay

In the comforts of our home, we may be under threat one day

Navy officers patrol our shores

Going around to find any saboteurs

Any fleet that dares to attack our sovereignty

Bypass our borders and do so unfriendly

Reaching my dad can be hard when he is at sea

Only special messages are allowed to transmit freely

And yet this is very special for my dad is so far away

Dad I wish you peace and a Happy Father’s Day
