"Got Your Back"

I am a small and precious child, my daddy's been sent to fight....

The only place I'll see his face, is in my dreams at night.

He will be gone too many days for my young mind to keep track.

I may be sad, but I am proud. My daddy's got your back....



I am a caring mother, My son has gone to war....

My mind is filled with worries that I have never known before.

Everyday I try to keep my thoughts from turning black.

I may be scared, but I am proud. My son has got your back....


I am a strong and loving wife, with a husband soon to go.

There are times I'm terrified in a way most never know.

I bite my lip, and force a smile as I watch my husband pack,

My heart may break, but I am proud. My husband's got your back....



I am a soldier.... Serving proudly, standing tall.

I fight for freedom, yours and mine by answering this call.

I do my job while knowing, the thanks it sometimes lacks.

Say a prayer that I'll come home. It's me who's got your back.

~*~SUPPORT OUR TROOPS~*~
I just wanted to tell you about an awesome effort of Christians in America to "adopt" each and every military person to pray for them individually as America goes to war with Iraq.

To register a military person you know, go to www.presidentialprayerteam.org/addtroop.php No personal or confidential information will be required.

To "adopt" a military person (one will be assigned to you) go to www.presidentialprayerteam.org/adoptatroop.php

This effort is supported by the coalition of military chaplains and leaders, including a former Army Chief of Staff. It is organized by The Presidential Prayer Team. To join The Presidential Prayer Team, go to www.presidentialprayerteam
