Mommy cries when shes all alone.
Then when I ask her what is wrong,
she sings me a sorrowful little song.
And in the song it tells me where you are.
It says you're fighting a war somewhere far.
Then I ask mother what war is,
she then evades the question with a kiss.
Just a moment ago mommy got a letter.
She looked at it as if everything would be better.
Then she opened and read it.
Tears fell out and she screamed in a fit:
"Why Lord, did you take him away?
Why couldnt I have heard the last words for him to say?"
Then mommy fell to the ground sorrowfully.
She blinked away some tears and opened her arms to me.
I asked when father was coming back,
completely unaware he now was to lack.
Mommy evaded the question with a kiss,
she just couldnt bring herself to answer this.
Then that night when I was tucked into bed
mommy told me you are dead.
'Dead', a word I was yet to learn.
I then asked when you would return.
Mommy's sorrowful answer of "Never..."
was addded onto with "He will fight his war forever..."
