My Old Man's a Soldier by juliedduncan

My Old Man's a Soldier

What do you think about that?
He wears a soldier's collar.
He wears a soldier's hat.
He wears a soldier's raincoat.
He wears a soldier's shoes.
And every Saturday evening,
He reads the Sunday news.
And someday . . . if I can,
I'm gonna be a soldier,
The same as my old man!
Wow, absolutely love this. That poem brought tears to this old soldier's wife's eyes. I think the cracks in the old soldier tells more than most soldiers will ever say. FAV!

@homeschoolmom Thank you, Lisa! Used to listen to this song by the Smothers Brothers when I was a kid and never forgot it. :)
