WHOLE NEW BALL GAME
still
rounders
in the park
They meet in Atlanta's airport, sat down and had a chat
Heading home than to a resort, in full uniform at that
Brad was very impressed his respect bubbling through
In asking for his address "so I could send a card to you"
The soldier wrote in his book and they soon parted ways
Not really giving it a second look for these were glory days
Such a reunion it would be lot's of hugs and some tears too
So good to once again see, crying is just about all you can do
And then the family trip came as excitement just filled the air
It was like a whole new ball game as this time dad would be there
What a difference in being around the family was again complete
But in getting there they found something that was also pretty neat
Checking in there was zero balance due but how could that be
A man named Brad did this for you, your whole entire trip is free
This soldier, a man of war, was so touched by his generous act
Shown a love right from the core, but he did it with such tact
