TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN VETERANS 11

My Hero

I could tell when he left
He had heard the Call
He didn't seem shaken
Or Frightened at All

He made me so proud all dressed in his Blues
To stand up for his Country, its Freedoms its Views

He gave me a Hug
And said not to Worry
He'd take care of this War
And be home in a Hurry

I'd received a few Letters he'd scribbled in Pen
Promising he'd be home soon, I would see him Again

A few months went by and not a word from My Son
Then a knock at the door and my Nightmare had Begun

Two tall gentlemen dressed in their Finest Military Attire
Told me that My son had been killed by Enemy Fire

"You should be Proud, He died a Hero that Night"
He saved other soldier's with his Courage
His will and his Might

No story or Fame
Could ever Replace
My Son and his Wonder
His warm loving Face

And with all the Medals
They gave him in high Praise
Won't ever make up for his life's stolen Days
