Letters From War
Mark Schultz
She walked to the mailbox
Found a letter from her son
On that bright summer's day
In a war, far away
He spoke of the weather
And friends that he'd made
Said, "I'd been thinking 'bout Dad
And the life that he had
That's why I'm here today"
Then at the end he said
It was the first of his letters from war
"You are what I'm fighting for"
She started writing
You're good and you're brave
What a father that you'll be someday
Make it home, make it safe
She wrote every night as she prayed
A day she'll not forget
And late in December
Oh, her tears stained the paper
With every word that she read
I was out there alone
It said, "I was up on a hill
When the shots all rang out
And bombs were exploding
He came back for me
And that's when I saw him
Though he was captured
A man set me free
That man was your son
He asked me to write to you
I told him I would, oh I swore"
It was the last of the letters from war
And she prayed he was living
Kept on believing and wrote every night just to say
You are good and you're brave
What a father you'll be someday
Make it home, make it safe
Still, she kept writing each day
Then two years later
Autumn leaves all around
A car pulled in the driveway
And she fell to the ground
Where her boy used to stand
And out stepped a captain
From all of your letters
He said, "Mom, I'm following orders
And I've come home again"
He ran in to hold her
And dropped all his bags on the floor
Holding all of her letters from war
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
