Little Soldier

my little soldier
stand tall 
be proud of who you are 
and the things you acheive
never let them put you down 
you are my little king 
now put on your crown 

my little soldier 
be brave
appreciate the things you have
and the things you do 
be careful throughout your life 
look after your children 
take care of your wife 

my little soldier
show love
care for your family
and the friends you have
follow your dreams 
keep people close to your heart 
things are never as difficult as they seem  

Listen
little soldier 
make me proud

That would be difficult for a wife or mother to say because of the heartbreak of a son or husband going away with all the possibilities that could lie ahead even though she would be so proud of her soldier. Nicely done on a very hard topic. Keep writing. Sara
