1
When the postman delivered a letter
2
It filled her old heart full of joy
3
But she didn't know till she read the inside
4
It was the last one from her darlin' boy
5
"Dear mom" was the way that it started
6
"I miss you so much" it went on
7
Mom, I didn't know that I love you so
8
But I'll prove it when this war is won
9
I'm writing this down in a trench mom
10
Don't scold if it isn't so neat
11
You know as you did when I was a kid
12
And came home with mud on my feet
13
Now 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
And she fought against tears in her eyes
19
But they came unashamed for there was no name
20
And she knew that her darlin' boy had died
21
That night as she knelt by her bedside
22
She prayed Lord above hear my plea
23
And protect all the sons that are fighting tonight
24
And dear God keep our Canada free
