A MOTHER WAITS
(For Our Great Military Moms)

A soldier leaves, a mother waits
Do understand what love creates

Tremendous pride, a want to see
The best troop in all history

She knows she must stay very strong
For that kid who used to tagalong

To God she prays from day to day
To guide her child in every way

How special is this bond that ties
A mother and her precious prize

Look in her heart, you’ll see pure love
Look in her soul, there’s God above

The hope she holds is bigger than
The biggest ocean known to man

God blessed me with the very best
My Mother’s now with Him at rest
