1
When the postman delivered the letter
2
Well, it filled her old heart full of joy
3
But she didn't know 'til she read the inside
4
It was the last one from her darling boy
5
"Dear Mom," was the way that it started
6
"I miss you so much," it went on
7
"And, Mom, I didn't know that I loved you so
8
But I'll prove it when this war is won"
9
"I'm writing this down in a trench, Mom
10
So don't scold if it isn't so neat
11
For you know as you did, when I was a kid
12
And would come home with mud on my feet"
13
"Well, the captain just gave us our orders
14
And mom we will carry them through
15
I'll finish this letter the first chance I get
16
But for now I'll just say I love you"
17
Then the mother's old hands began to tremble
18
As she fought against tears in her eyes
19
For they came unashamed, there was no name
20
And she knew that her darlin' had died
21
That night as she knelt by her bedside
22
She prayed, "Lord above, hear my plea
23
Protect all the sons that are fighting tonight
24
And dear God keep America free"...
