Army Widow

Tonight I am the widow
Of an Army man
He went to war so bravely
To fight and save this land

I did my best to support him
In his goals and dreams
He saw a bright new future
For his family

The battle took his life
A man so brave and strong
Killed by the enemy
I wonder what went wrong

I look up at his picture
And weep so quietly
His son he’ll never hold
The birth is soon to be

Last night I had a dream
Of an Army man
A little boy he held
Gently in his hand

Peace beyond compare
Filtered through me then
I knew my son was safe
In his father’s hand
