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.
