My Soldier’s Mom

My child, you glow in uniform
In pride I live, my heart so warm

I have such precious thoughts cascade
Some old, some new, not one will fade

How hard that day we said good-bye
The joy, the pain, etched in my eye

You left to serve our Country well
My perfect one, my tears did swell

No better soldier could there be
For in my love, that’s all I see

Oh how I pray for you each day
Be safe, be well, God guide your way

I keep your Home in wait with me
Your Mom will guard it faithfully

How great the day when you’ll return
We’ll talk and talk, night-lights to burn

My Soldier’s Mom, is who I am
While you do proud, for Uncle Sam

My Mother’s Soldier

I think of her in treasured ways
Of all those years through watchful days

She nurtured me to grow up proud
Now that’s a fact I’ll shout out loud

Her awesome love wells deep inside
Her magic gift will never hide

I know she thinks of me a lot She always will, her lesson taught

I thank you God for all she is
My friend, my guide, my total wiz

What does my mother mean to me?
Look in my eyes, she’s there to see

My Mother’s Soldier, yes I am
While I stand watch for Uncle Sam

Don’t ever doubt who is the best
Her care exceeds the toughest test

Mother

A Mother’s love, is sure to find
A way to comfort, ease your mind

She knows just how, to build you up
When you’re so down, and can’t look up

You love the way, she makes you feel
Like you’re so special, her ideal

Her thought must start, with God above
To bring such caring, with such love

And as it flows, like gentle rain
It surely helps, when troubles pain

The love from mine, is oh so clear
I only wish, she was still here

Her warming glow, is missed each day
Even though, I seldom say

But she did leave, her gift behind
To help me through, when I may pine

And that’s the feel, known deep inside
Her faith and love, I still confide
