My Son Is A Soldier • My son is a soldierI can reveal this with pride(the fear is hidden just below thesurface, I confide)He's a real American heroWho believes in democracy(yet there is an inner whisper thatwants him here with me)I am honored to be his motherI brag of him through the day(but I can't help but wonderif there isn't a better way?)My son is a strong, brave soldierWho says he's prepared to die(he's not aware of the late night hoursthat I just sit and cry)I wear a ribbon and a flagUpon my collar every day(but alone at night, I bow my head,for my baby boy I pray...)
