If only I could have one wish, <br />I know what it would be, <br />To end this dreadful war we're in, <br />To have you home with me. <br />I'd wrap my arms around you Son, <br />And hold you safe and sound, <br />Thinking of you, every day, <br />In your battle on the ground. <br />You've lost so many of your men, <br />The grief is hard to hide, <br />But I just want to let you know, <br />I'm always by your side. <br />So you take care, <br />And come home safe, <br />From that foreign shore, <br />I long to see your smiling face, <br />Walking through the door.<br /><br />Jayne Davies<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-soldier-boy-2/
