Soldier Father
One last present
A mother and a daughter
Christmas day
A soldier for a father
She loves him
She loved him
She wishes he was there
But she understands
He's off marching somewhere
But this day was a day
That would darken her days
Her mothers gift turned her skys grey
She pulled it from a drawer
From daddy read the tag
A triangle box
That held a folded flag
Make a special prayer this Christmas day
For all of our soldiers who are home or away
