A Soldier Goes to War

My son is serving his country.

     A soldier goes to War

 

                   A soldier goes to war for: Love of his country and way of life,

                   To protect parents, siblings, children and wife.

                   He puts his life on the line for all of this and more…

                   For kids at school, apple pie and the girl next door.

                   The reasons for war are rarely ever clear.

                   Yet he fights on and on without a fear.

                   Governments around the world may dispute

                   But a soldier's reasons to fight are beyond repute!

                    He stands for all that is good and right in this life

                    Fighting for his parents, siblings, children and wife!

 

 

                Margaret Barton-Wahl, proud mother of an American soldier!

A mother's tribute to her son...soldier's cause and the values for which we serve our country...at times the ultimate sacrifice to the call of duty...I hope all is well with him...now...seems this is written back a ways...

Being a Soldier myself, I can really appreciate where this is coming from. Thank you for such support. And I like how cleverly you put this together =)

You are an awesome mother!
Your writing shows your devotion!

This is the truth, so real and beautifully essential. Yet so many times most people just can not realize it. They don't want to.

Margaret,
This is a beautiful triubute to every soldier past or present who has ever wore a uniform and fought for this great country. Well done.
