   There's also this one which appears to be a variation of the one Susan   
   posted......   
      
   Child of a Soldier   
      
   I am the child of a soldier.  My hometown is nowhere, my friends are   
   everywhere.   
      
   I grew up with the knowledge that home is where the heart and family are,   
   with no dependence on the dwelling.  Mobility is my way of life.   
      
   Some would wonder about my roots, yet they are as deep and as strong as a   
   mighty oak's.   
      
   I sink them quickly, absorbing all an area has to offer and hopefully giving   
   enrichment in return.   
      
   Travel has taught me to be open.shaking hands with the universe.  I find   
   brotherhood in all people.   
      
   Farewells are never easy.  Yet, even in the sorrow comes the strength and   
   ability to face tomorrow with anticipation.   
      
   If, when I leave one place I feel that half of my world has left, I also   
   know the other half is still waiting to be met.   
      
   Friendships are formed in hours and kept for decades.  I will never grow up   
   with someone, but will mature with many.   
      
   Be it inevitable that paths part, there is constant hope that we will meet   
   again.   
      
                                                                   -Unknown
