Born so little and sweet, A tiny baby boy with tiny feet, Gentle smile, Loving heart, Mama loved him so, She kissed him goodnight, Rocked him to sleep, Forever in her heart memories to keep, One day the boy became a man, Mama loved him so, She hated this fighting, This war, She had to let him go, Tears rolled down her cheek, Don't cry mama, he could hardly speak, Mama, I love you, every tear you cry mama, I will be the angel to wipe your eye, I am going on a journey, but I will be back, For I have to protect you and dad, Don't be sad, I will write you every chance, Then mama hugged him as she cried, This little boy Was leaving her side, As he walked away, she still remembered that day, The sun shinning on his face, his smile, his grace, This was he calling, this was his place, Scared little boy in a unknown land, To fight for the freedom of every man, The moment it happened, his friend held him in his arms, With the last breath, he said, tell mama I am coming home, The angels surrounded him, And he closed his eyes, This little boy had said goodbye, Mama got a visit from two goverment men, And then was the message given by the friend, Don't cry mama, I am coming home, With every tear she thought of every memory, The little flowers picked just for her at age four, Little gifts of love displayed, Her heart had felt betrayed, For what she gave that day was so much more, She gave her heart, her soul, her life, IT is an honor to those who served and died in the war, Greater is the honor for all the mamas , Who won't be seeing their son come home anymore... |

Very true, romantic one. For the grave of every soldier, there are dozens of victims that are affected by the tragic loss. You have done them proud. |

RH, Tears are streaming. This is so deeply touching. Mere words cannot say how absolutely beautiful this is. So I'll simply say thank you. All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

As a veteran of war I understand this well....having seen friends taken home alone in bags....and having a empty seat next to me on the plane that took the rest of us home at the end. Never agreed with the reasons for many wars....but if I questioned it and told my country no....My fore fathers could have done the same.....and if they had where would we be today. God Bless and FREEDOM NOW.....Thanks for sharing Romantic Heart A man does not love a woman because she is beautiful...But she is beautiful because he loves her. |
