Fallen Soldier

The call came in today My son must go and fight, He wants to do this for his country Wiping a tear he says he'll be alright. All the time i pace the floors My ear glued to the phone, Many family and friends here Yet without my son i feel alone. i watch the news daily Another brave soldier has died, Is it possibly someone i know Thinking of his family i stood and cried. Im now trying to gather myself For they have just sent someone, Telling me of that tragic day That brave soldier was my son.
