Soldier Boy

CARRY ON... MY SOLDIER BOY! BENEATH THE SETTING SUN... YOUR TIME HAS, SURELY, COME! THROUGH THE WRECKAGE OF THE PAST...YOUR TRIALS... THEY WILL NOT LAST, FOREVER! YET, THEY DOTH APPEAR... THROUGH STORM AND STRIFE YOU CARRY ON... UPON YOUR LIFE, SO DEAR ! YOU HOLD YOUR BANNER HIGH... BENEATH THE SKY, AND IN THE BATTLE CRY, MARCH STRAIGHT AHEAD... YOU MAKE YOUR BED WHERE SHADOWS FALL... FOR ONE AND ALL TO SEE, YOU WILL BE FREE... TO CARRY ON... NOW IN THE SETTING SUN, YOUR DREAMS, AGAIN, WILL COME ... JUST WHERE YOU LAY TO REST... YOU'LL BE THE BEST! AND CARRY ON... MY SOLDIER BOY ! from My Mother... October 11, 2016
