Six Years and Waiting

Six years and waiting,

For our guys to come home,

Victors,

from the Iraqi desert.

Still, on the corner

of my desk,

Sit the pussy willows,

Since March 19, 2003.

Many more have fallen,

but more are still holding on.

They haven't been watered for six years,

Still they sit,

waiting , , , waiting,

For this mess to be over.

God Bless my pussy willows,

and the young men and women they represent.

God Bless the people they are

There to guard and protect.

God, let there be peace,

not only in Iraq,

but around the world.

God, I am waiting,

The Iraqis are waiting,

Our young men and women are waiting,

My pussy willows are waiting.

Please give us rest.
