I am a small and precious child

My dads been sent to fight..

The only place I'll see his face

Is in my dreams at night.

He will be gone too many days

For my young mind to keep track

I may be sad, but I am proud

My daddy's got your back.



I am a caring mother...

My son has gone to war

My mind is filled with worries

That I have never known before.

Everyday I try to keep my

Thoughts from turning black

I may be scared but I am proud

My son has got your back.



I am a strong and loving wife

With a husband soon to go

There are times I'm terrified

In a way most never know.

I bite my lip and force a smile

As I watch my husband pack..

My heart may break but I am proud

My husbands got your back..



I am a soldier...

Serving Proudly standing tall

I fight for freedom, yours and mine

By answering this call.

I do my job while knowing the

Thanks it sometimes lacks

Say a prayer that I'll come home
