The Farewell
I'll soon be home Mum,
The soldier said.
You be careful, son,
His mother said.
I'll be fine over there,
The soldier said.
Just you be watchful,
His mother said.
I have to go now, Mum,
The soldier said.
Come home soon son,
His mother cried.
Her tears soon fell,
As the news she received.
He's beside his Dad,
Neath the earth and leaves.
