OT - Two Gardens -
by Misawa Author IconMail Icon
Two Gardens
She was tending her garden
That mother of mine
When off in the distance  
She heard a low whine
 
A car crept up our driveway
So slowly - then stopped
Next out stepped a soldier
And mother’s head dropped

She fell to her knees
As her whole world took pause
To learn I’d died in a battle
'A true and just cause'

But mom’s proud of her soldier
And she shares my love
Of freedom and country
Of God up above

The soldier has gone
As for mom you’ll now see
Two gardens she tends
One's hers - one's for me
