A Soldier's Cry

Please send this letter to my family
Tell them I am off to war
To help make my country great and strong
To fight for her blissful future
To love and die serving her course
Tell my mother not to cry
Tell my father his son has become the man he always wanted
Tell my siblings not to worry because their brother will trouble them no more
Let them know that there is no greater power beneath the sun
Yet no force on earth is weaker
Than the feeble strength of mine
But only God makes me stronger
