What are you waiting for?
my son came home from school the other day,
said daddy i know what i wanna be when i grow up.
i looked down into his big brown eyes and said what is that son,
he took my hand and we sat on the floor and he climbed up into my lap.
he said daddy i wanna be a soldier just like u.i wanna fight for my country that i love so much.
he stood up and gave me a hug and trotted off to his room,
he was 5 then,
when he turned 18 he came to me and asked me to join him for a ride.
we went to the recruiters and he joind the military..i helped swear him in as a proud father,tears and over whelming emotions came over me.
when we left from there and were driving home he stopped alongside an old country road,
he turned and looked at me and said i did it dad i am a soldier now
gonna do my best and make you proud.
gonna serve my country and protect it the best i can.
gonna give my all gonna be the best i can be
he got his first orders iraq he was bound
one whole year with out him around
felt a knot in my stomach as i watched him pull away,
tears in my eyes as i smiled and i waved.
i yelled out to him as they were pulling off,
i love u son.
if only he knew how proud of him i am.
hes no longer my little boy,
now hes a man.
i think back and remember the day
the day he told me he wanted to be a soldier.
hes in iraq now along with his 2 brothers
please say a prayer for them and all who are sacrificing themselves for us.
thank u
