I Hate That You've Missed

I hate that you've missed...

I hate that you've missed
so many school dances
I hate that you've missed
how your little girl prances

I hate that you've missed
swimming on sunny days
I hate that you've missed
report cards with "A's"

I hate that you've missed
how her hair's grown so long
I hate that you've missed
her first made-up song

I hate that you've missed
all your boys' charms
I hate that you've missed
healing broken arms

I hate that you've you missed
me trying to replace wipers
I hate that you've missed
her outgrowing diapers

I hate that you've missed
Christmas this year
I hate that you've missed
so much happening here

All I can say
is I've known every day
if it were up to you
you'd be here too

The army's your job
but family your life
and I'm really so proud
that I am your wife
