Dear Mom
(Available IN PRINT HERE!)
Dear Mom, I love you so, so if I go to war
Here are a few things I want you to know
Dear Mom, remember the good times
In my youth and in my prime
Dear Mom, I miss you so much
So please write letters and keep in touch
Dear Mom, please don't hate the enemy
He too will suffer the pain and agony
Dear Mom, I can tell you not to worry
But in our hearts we'll all feel the fury
Dear Mom, you were always there
Thanks for the love, thanks for the care
Dear Mom, when I kissed you good-bye
I could see your love thru the tears in your eyes
Dear Mom, you'll worry the most
But we must defend this land from coast to coast
Dear Mom, you must stay strong
With your love and understanding it will help us get along
Dear Mom, don't spend all your time worrying about me
And don't forget the rest of the family
Dear Mom, this time will pass
So please hang n there 'till I see you at last
Dear Mom, remember this, I love you so much
I'll see you soon, and look forward to your touch
