Mom

Mom’s an unsung hero
Though we praise her everyday
I heard all the stories
And all those things they say

Mamas all stand proud
For a soldier never lies
And a soldier loves his mother
And they can never say goodbye

For in their heart they carry you
Through those years you’re in their heart
And if you’re ever worried
They couldn’t break their mother’s heart

Author notes

To all the mom out there with son and daughters serving there country,  I tip my hat for you gave you child and that is a huge sacrifice.  We love you, from all the troops in IRAQ,  From the Book Emotions of an American in Iraq

    What a wonderful tribute, this is so true of a mother, made me think of my own mom and the worry she carried in the 90's when the first gulf war was going on. You are so gifted and caring for others. Your mom did an excellent job of rasing a son with such a caring heart.

    This one is so sweet and loving. So true too about the moms' can't imagine sending my son overseas with what is going on over there. I don't have any children, but if I did, I don't know how I would react to the news of one of mine leaving for that kind of danger. Bless them all who have lost!

    WONDERFUL POEM

    The warmth you convey for your mom.
    Shows what a good son she did raise.
    You both love and care for each other.
    You both deserve each other's praise.

    She waits at home and worries.
    Hoping you will be safe every day.
    You reassure her everthing is fine.
    She treasures every word you say.

    This was a wonderful poem you have penned. So heartfelt. Your mom must be so proud of you. My prayers to you across the sea. Take care, Sandy.
