His only dream since childhood was to be all that he could be.
He sweated on the hottest days to build his muscles strong.
He studied hard and made his mark and one day his call came.
How proud we were to watch him march on graduation day.
A young man of quiet strength; a machine gunner he would be.
Then off he went to protect and serve this his country proud.
With hearts in throats, we wished him off with all our love and prayers.
A guardian angel watched over him and protected him every day.
In dreams at night, she came and spoke to us to tell us he was fine and safe.
And home he came ; all safe and sound.
He had served his country proud.
Now he walks with soldier pride; tried, tested and true.
On angels wings he returned; protected everyday.
