~~MY SON THE SOLDIER~~



A letter arrived in the mail today.
Dear Soldier, You are to report to your
home base at, destination, Iraq.
"God Be With You."

In this land of "Peace" a son is called
to duty.
He has sworn to protect the mother-
land on both sides of the shore.
He is proud to fight to be an "American",
for the freedom which we live for.

As family and friends bid him farewell
theres a silence that fills the air.
Hearts are heavy as tear drops fall.
He wipes his tears away, standing
tall, he finds the strength to walk
away being a "Soldier" who has
been called.

With honor he marches fourth into an
uncertain war.
In the distance he hears the roar of
the battle.
It is on the ground and in the air.
There is termoil and hate, everywhere.

The whispers of his fellow soldiers is
heard, "may the Lord be with you my
friend".
They are all in one accord, watching
and protecting each other as they go
fourth.

While at home, a proud Mother prays
to the Lord to watch over him. Keeping
him out of harms way.
That the war will cease and end.
Bringing her son, "The Soldier", home
to be with his family and friends.
