Is This Your Son, Memorial Day
Is This Your Son
There was a child
Who grew in height
He became a man
Who wanted to fight
To keep us safe
And speak for us
I cried as I watched
Him get on that bus
The days ticked by
Life seemed to stand still
I know my soldier
Is fighting over that hill
As a mama I must say
How proud I am
Of who he is
And how it began
I am standing here
Touching the photo frame
Tears touching glass
No I hold…

And speak for us

The days ticked by
Life seemed to stand still
I know my soldier
Is fighting over that hill
As a mama I must say
How proud I am
Of who he is
And how it began
I am standing here
Touching the photo frame
Tears touching glass
No I hold no shame
For this is my son
He is my only one
I give thanks today
For Memorial Day.
