by: Sir Wolfr1 2005 A Master stood looking at his sub Both their eyes were filled with tears No words were spoken nor were needed between the two For both knew well their own and the others fears The call had come in the dark of the night As it seems these calls so often do Some softly spoken words as he hung up the phone As he looked at her he realized that she already knew It was the call that she had known and had dread to come The call that said her love would soon walk out the door For a time or forever neither of them knew For her Master had been called to war His country had called and she knew he would answer Though the burden near made both their hearts break For her Master was a soilder and both knew his duty Both held the other with a hunger neither could hope to sate "Come home to me my Master" she whispered softly to him With a glance around to make sure no other could hear For others could not understand the manner they loved the other As he softly kissed away the bitter tears "We both knew that this day would one day come my love" He said as he held her to his chest "I know not what the future may hold beyond this point Only that with your love I am truly blessed" "I will never serve another" she whispered As she tried in vain to blink away the tears "Just come home to me my Master For your loss is the only thing that I truely fear" "I am an American solider pet And that means that when they call.... I go I have no idea when or even how I will return to your arms But I swear if it is possible I will come but this please know If by chance I do not return my love If the ultimate sacrifice is demanded of me Then know I died proud and loving you For freedom has never been free That freedom means we can love as we chose to love On proud bended knee or standing tall But none are free unless we are all free And so I go to answer this call" The PA system spoke the final boarding call In terror she held him on last time unto her breast She knew well the long day and longer nights that lay ahead And softly swore that she would meet and pass this test She watched as with weapon and rick sack in his hand He turned and boarded the plane Looking back once again he waved and smiled As with a smile both struggled to hide their tears and pain He took his seat and waited Looked out and saw her so alone within his sight He wanted again to hold and love and protect her But knew his country called him to fight the fight Behind a fence she watched Gently touching the collar she wore so proud A single face among the thousands He knew he would spot her in any crowd "Freedom to love as we do love" whispered through her tears "The freedom to in pride and love bend a knee You are right Master these things are beyond all cost But Master ..... please come home to me"
