MY MOTHER’S SOLDIER

I think of her in treasured ways
Of all those years through watchful days

She nurtured me to grow up proud
Now that’s a fact I’ll shout out loud

Her awesome love wells deep inside
Her magic gift will never hide

I know she thinks of me a lot
She always will, her lesson taught

I thank you God for all she is
My friend, my guide, my total wiz

What does my mother mean to me?
Look in my eyes, she’s there to see

My Mother’s Soldier, yes I am
While I stand watch for Uncle Sam

Don’t ever doubt who is the best
Her care exceeds the toughest test
