A Soldier's Last Letter |
When the postman delivered the letter |
Well, it filled her old heart full of joy |
But she didn’t know 'til she read the inside |
It was the last one from her darling boy |
«Dear Mom,» was the way that it started |
«I miss you so much,» it went on |
«And, Mom, I didn’t know that I loved you so |
But I’ll prove it when this war is won» |
«I'm writing this down in a trench, Mom |
So don’t scold if it isn’t so neat |
For you know as you did, when I was a kid |
And would come home with mud on my feet» |
«Well, the captain just gave us our orders |
And mom we will carry them through |
I’ll finish this letter the first chance I get |
But for now I’ll just say I love you» |
Then the mother’s old hands began to tremble |
As she fought against tears in her eyes |
For they came unashamed, there was no name |
And she knew that her darlin' had died |
That night as she knelt by her bedside |
She prayed, «Lord above, hear my plea |
Protect all the sons that are fighting tonight |
And dear God keep America free»… |
