A MOTHER'S PRAYER
Oh, my son
My only son
You have enlisted to fight overseas
To defeat the enemy
That threatens our way of life,
to preserve democracy.
I am sad to see you go
My life will not be the same,
Until you return safely home
My son, I love you so!
Write as often as you can
to let me know that you are well,
I will patiently await your letters
and answer them with pride.
May God bless and protect you
and help you to survive!
Please God watch over my son
for he is my pride and joy,
Please protect him from all harm,
My darling soldier boy!
