A Promise To Ashley

A promise made across the sea.                                                             To a little girl, That I could not see.                                                                     a chance to hold you, was not to be.                                                  Like a Desert Storm, you were taken from me.                            I made you a promise, that I'd bring you home.                             So you could be with me, and not all alone                                  I promised to find you, and the promise I kept.                             But letting you go, is hard to except.                                              The unanswered question, did this have to be.                              Still to this day, seems to haunt me.                                                               I still make this promise, and this promise I'll keep                      Some time you and Grand pa,  are going to meet.
