You are not with me and it's so hard
On pins and needles right from the start
I see you in my grand child's eyes
For now my child is deployed and not by my side
I'm so nervous I started to quilt
Freedom is earned that's how this country was built
Gathered my fabric batting and thread
Just thinking of you that's all in my head
Thanks to our military thank you for our brave
Thanks for all that you do keeping us safe
They are not alone they have families too
Love our troops this quilt is dedicated to you
Nights are long and we're a world apart
Making this quilt with you in my heart
Tears in my stitches adjusting it's length
Pray everyday to keep you safe with courage and strength
Thanks to our military thank you for our brave
Thanks for all that you do keeping us safe
They are not alone they have families too
Love our troops this quilt is dedicated to you
Felt like forever and time had stalled
I quilted each piece gave it my all
Every stitch with thoughts of you I was never alone
The quilt is done with happy tears you are now home
Thanks to our military thank you for our brave
Thanks for all that you do keeping us safe
They are not alone they have families too
Love our troops this quilt is dedicated to you
