Soldier Son

Long waiting for him to come
Its dark gloomy and glum
Miles away is fighting going on
Away for months he has gone
Hoping for return of their soldier son
From the battle having won
Pray his kinsmen to Him
Be bestowed with a long life
Endure the thorns in his strife
For freedom of the unknown
Assuring the belief of his victory, yet
What if we lose the bet
Who will suffice his sacrifice
Life will go on
Riding on the shoulders of a soldier's death
Hope not his, but what if we lose the bet
