Mother Dont Cry
Dont cry mother
Mother please don’t cry, I had to volunteer.
I have to go away so wipe away your tears.
It really wont be too long I’ll sent you money.
Picking up his duffle bag he said goodby.
His mother stood by the open door and
Her heart felt a pain she never felt before.
The young man was sent to a dessart place
Where he would feel displaced
It wasn’t long before his mother was informed,
By a young soldier in a uniform letter in hand.
Sitting on a chair, a folded flag upon her knee.
Burning tears soaked the flag as she whispered,
Why my son?
