My Son Mike

I popped on to myspace
And what did I see
Mike and his girlfriend
Had gotten married

I knew she was pregnant
And he will soon deploy
Iraq is where he'll be
When finding out if it's girl or boy

A beautiful young lady
A wife, and soon to be a mom
I wish they weren't so far away
So I could help her a long

My son is a man of strength
He fights for us every day
May the "two" loves of his life
Guide him back home to stay

...and I'm gonna kick your butt if you don't call me after the honeymoon!

I love you all...
mom
