My Dear Love,

When you hear me whisper “I love you!”
Please do not take this lightly;
For it is spoken
as loud as a lion’s roar;
as soft as a kitten's purr.

And these words shall travel afar;
for the love I hold for you is
as deep as an ocean’s abyss;
as high as the stars in the sky.

I want you to know -
Whenever you look up at the stars,
I am there,
cheering you for your bravery.

I also want you to know -
Whenever you look up at the moon,
I am there,
admiring you for your loyalty.

Even though we are far apart,
my love for you continues to grow.
My heart sings songs of victories
as you courageously protect our land.

I look at your picture everyday,
holding it next to my heart.
I see you proud and brave!
I see you blessed with faith!

I salute you,
My Wonderful Soldier!
I salute you,
My Dear Love!
