You are only 18 my only son. I need you like I’ve never needed anyone. I shed a tear when the draft notice came. I am so angry. Everyone and no one is to blame. They took you away from me and sent you far across the sea to fight a senseless battle for oil and greed. It is a summer day in the month of May. I think of you and know you are so far away. I hope God is by your side as you journey with your comrades. many whom have died. I pray to God for your safe return. As the hellfire of war burns. My head aches and my stomach turns. At the thought of what could happen. May the war be over soon. May this insanity end before June Too many innocent lives lost What a stupid cause at an incredible human cost. It is a summer day in the month of May. I think of you and know you are so far away. I hope God is by your side as you journey with your comrades. Bridge War has always been here with mankind It’s always gonna be here as long as people are blind. Not many reasons I can see for this curse on humanity. Please bring him home safely and not In a body bag with his dog tags. I think about him every day and pray for his safety. May the hand of god shield his infantry When the bombs and bullets fly. May you bring him home alive from Across the sea into the waiting arms of his family. It is a summer day in the month of May. I think of you and know you are so far away. I hope God is by your side as you journey with your comrades.
