Here is a short song I wrote  when the war in Iraq began. I feel guilty even being able to type this while they are still there risking their lives. Thank you military! You are amazingly brave people! God Bless!

Hush little baby don’t you cry

Daddy’s not coming home tonight

He gave his life he made a sacrifice

So we could be free your daddy had to fight

He went to war for an uncertain cause

He was doing his job but that day their were flaws

These bad guys drove up

they were asking him for help

The car they drove blew up

and  those bad guys went to hell

There’s so much to tell you

so much I need to say

He loved his baby girl

He didn’t want it to end this way

He wouldn’t want to see you hurt

Lets carry on his name

Lets pick the pieces up

Don’t let him die in vain

For now its me and you

But he is watching over us from above

He was protecting our freedom here

But from there  he sends us his love

Hush little baby don’t you cry

Daddies not coming home tonight

He fought hard it was time for him to go

He only did it because he loved us so.

Hush little baby don’t you cry

Daddy’s not coming home tonight

He gave his life he made a sacrifice

So we could be free your daddy had to fight

Hush little baby don’t you cry

Mamma’s right here to hold you tight

I’ll dry your tears I will wipe your eyes

We will meet him again in the heavenly skies!
