Got your back

[drywall]

"Got Your Back"

I am a small and precious child,

my daddy's 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 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 knowing,

the thanks it sometimes lacks.

Say a prayer that I'll come home.

It's me who's got your back.

Please keep our brave troops in your prayers. No matter what
you think of
what is happening in the world right now, remember that they
didn't ask for
any of it to happen. They didn't ask to miss holidays,
birthdays or any
special moments with their family & friends but are willing,
in order to
protect us & our freedom.

Take a moment this coming weekend....
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS
