I found this while browsing the internet and I felt touched, so I thought I would share.
Give me greatness of heart to see,
the difference between duty and his love for me.
Give me understanding so that I may know,
when duty calls him, he must go.
Give me a task to do each day,
to fill the time when he’s away.
When he’s in a foreign land,
Keep him safe in your loving hands.
And when duty brings him to the field,
Please protect him and be his shield.
And Lord, when his deployment seems so long,
please stay with me and keep me strong.
