He toiled under the desert sun with a goal in mind and heart; miles away he bears the loneliness and pain. Tomorrow's another day without you but with each new dawn he's filled with hope that the distance will never be this far again - one day. "Hang in there" keeps running in his head and a constant reminder that someone's out there waiting for his return...someone important, someone worth all the sacrifices he's going through, someone he'll risk laying his life for.
"All for you, my love," he'd say. Days become nights and nights into days to keep the pledge alive and well-kept. Defying all hindrances in keeping this promise he prays for strength and safety; for guidance that he may never be swayed from the goal he had set. A dark cloud may hover but he knows the sun will take over as he will never let it linger for long...not a chance on this determined soul.
Silently, he asks forgiveness on times that he wasn't there and can only let out a cry in this wilderness of sand for the moments to come that he won't be able to witness the life you're leading on. But know this little one that each time you bleed, he's tormented; when you shed a tear, he cries buckets; every pain you feel tears his heart but when he knows you're happy you lead him to nirvana.
"May the good Lord bless and keep you safe while I am away" is his fervent prayer as he continues his quest of being a father to a darling little girl he has back home.
