I’m so proud you’re my little smart trooper
You’re the best there is, you’re just super

How I wish I could stay home with you
I’ll sure miss all the things that we do

You will be in my thought night and day
Be real brave for your soldier away

I’ll ask God to be real close to you
And I want you to pray to Him too

Tell your friends I have gone to defend
So the freedom we have will not end

That’s my job as a soldier you see
I’m so proud I can help us stay free

Now there’s one thing I want you to do
When I come back home to see you

Have a big hug just waiting for me
Cause together again we will be

(Dedicated to Little Davey)
