We all fought the battle and I lost the fight
Many men still at war fighting for our freedom
So that we can still be called a United Kingdom
My heart is bleeding penning these words
A silent moment you can distantly hear the birds
A sound you take for granted back on home soil
A sound you long to hear through this almighty turmoil
Look after your mum son and always be there
Shower her with love to show you always care
You’ll have to grow up quick and take responsibility
Me being there is an impossibility
When your sister begins to grow and attends a state school
Keep her safe from harm as children can be so very cruel
If she needs a hug don’t be ashamed of the publicity it
brings
The love for a family member unconditional with no strings
Remember Son, be strong and brave and always show respect
Even through adversity, keeping standards high is what I
expect
I’ll be watching from the skies above, a proud father me
Sharing my thoughts with other soldiers I’m sure they’ll all
agree
Take this letter Son and keep it safe by your side
Remember me forever in life on this roller coaster ride
I’ll be with you in spirit and importantly in your heart
Watching your new journey begin from the very start
