My Daddy Is a Soldier
he stood up in front of his class
and said my daddy is a soldier
he looked so much older than a boy of five
he seemed wise beyond his years
as he tried to fight back the tears
i kow today is fathers day
but my daddy could not be here today
because he is at a far away land
and i wish he could be here to hold my hand
mommy said if i pray real hard
he might come home soon
so every night i look up at the stars and moon
and i pray as hard as i can
because today is fathers day and my dad is a real
good man
