Child of a Soldier

I’m the child of a Soldier,
Proud as can be,
Who served our Country, most admirably
He took on the job
To help keep us safe
As we moved around, from place to place
We carried the flag
As he risked life and limb
There are really no words that can ever thank him
We are free today
Because he gave his all
I’ve bowed to you, Dad, since I was small!
This is my thanks
To Soldiers true
For we could not stand tall, if it weren’t for you
