Got your Back

A girl friend sent this to me and I thought it was worth sharing....



I am a small and precious childmy dad's been sent to fight
The only place I'll see his faceis in my dream at night.
He will be gone too many daysfor 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 worriesthat I have never known before.
Everyday I try to keepmy thoughts from turning black
I may be scared, but I am proud.My son has got your back.

I am a strong and loving wifewith a husband soon to go
There are times I'm terrifiedin 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 husband's 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 knowingthe thanks it sometimes lacks.
Say a prayer that I'll come homeIt's me who's got your back.
